Logging_Python

This repository provides a method to log all method calls automatically. A log statement contains a timestamp, method name, argument names, types, and values, and return type and value. We implement automated logging using monkey patching, which replaces existing functions at runtime adding logging statements to it.

Limitations

• We do not log monkey functions to prevent re-inspection.
• We do not log inner functions, also called nested functions since module inspect does not retrieve them.
• We do not log lambda functions since since module inspect does not retrieve them.
• We do not log functions that contain the following strings in the signature <locals>, _get_kwargs, _\repr__, and argparse._ActionsContainer._get_handler.
• We do not log methods that have a non-executable signature, e.g., that contain an invalid path. More formally, when an object's built-in method repr(), which should return an executable string of the object, returns something with an invalid syntax (e.g., string containing <, >, ', ", /, \, ...), we want to skip it.
