logging
logging module
This module exposes several functions to output messages to the Substance Painter logger. Depending on the severity of the message, use info(), warning() or error().
For a finer control over the logging parameters, namely severity and channel, use log(). The functions info(), warning() and error() will output to the ‘Python’ log channel, while log() allows to specify a different channel.
Messages with severity levels INFO, WARNING and ERROR are meant for the end user, and will appear in the log window of Substance 3D Painter. Messages with severity levels DBG_INFO, DBG_WARNING and DBG_ERROR are meant for the developer, and will appear in the log file.
Example
import substance_painter.logging
# Simple log functions:
substance_painter.logging.info("Everyone knows that 2 + 2 is {0}.".format(2+2))
substance_painter.logging.warning("Maybe the user should look at this.")
substance_painter.logging.error("Letting the user know that something went wrong.")
# Log function with more options:
substance_painter.logging.log(
substance_painter.logging.INFO,
"Python",
"An informative log message to the 'Python' channel.")
substance_painter.logging.log(
substance_painter.logging.ERROR,
"MyPlugin",
"An error log message to the 'MyPlugin' channel.")
