Eliot provides a structured logging system for Python that generates as a forest of nested actions. Action start and eventually finish, successfully or not. Log messages thus tell a story: what happened, and what caused it.

Features:

• Structured, typed messages.
• Action tree, with messages automatically figuring out their action context.
• Excellent support for unit testing your logging code.
• Twisted support.
• JSON output, usable by Logstash/Elasticsearch.
• Supports Python 2.7 and 3.3.

This is a PREVIEW and does not guarantee version stability across versions.

Eliot is released by HybridCluster under the Apache 2.0 License and maintained by Itamar Turner-Trauring.

Downloads are available on PyPI.
