PyErrorLog(self, logger_name=None) A global error log that connects to the Python stdlib logging package.

The constructor accepts an optional logger name.

If you want to change the mapping between libxml2's ErrorLevels and Python logging levels, you can modify the level_map dictionary from a subclass.

The default mapping is:

    ErrorLevels.WARNING = logging.WARNING
    ErrorLevels.ERROR   = logging.ERROR
    ErrorLevels.FATAL   = logging.CRITICAL

You can also override the method `receive()` that takes a LogEntry object and calls `self.log(log_entry, format_string, arg1, arg2, ...)` with appropriate data.

Method Details | [hide private]

### __init__(self, logger_name=None) (Constructor) |
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature Overrides: object.__init__

### __new__(T, S, ...) |
Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T Overrides: object.__new__

### copy(...) |
Dummy method that returns an empty error log. Overrides: _BaseErrorLog.copy

### log(self, log_entry, message, *args) |
Called by the .receive() method to log a _LogEntry instance to the Python logging system. This handles the error level mapping. In the default implementation, the `message` argument receives a complete log line, and there are no further `args`. To change the message format, it is best to override the .receive() method instead of this one.

### receive(self, log_entry) |
Receive a _LogEntry instance from the logging system. Calls the .log() method with appropriate parameters:
    self.log(log_entry, repr(log_entry))
You can override this method to provide your own log output format.
