How can I implement real-time logging in Python?

You can use the logging module along with a SocketHandler to send logs to a remote server in real-time.

Can you show me a simple example of that?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import logging
import socket

logger = logging.getLogger('my_logger')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

handler = logging.handlers.SocketHandler('localhost', 9999)
logger.addHandler(handler)

logger.debug('This is a debug message')

What if I want to log to a file as well?

You can add a FileHandler to your logger. Here's how:

file_handler = logging.FileHandler('my_log.log')
logger.addHandler(file_handler)

Is there a way to format the log messages?

Yes, you can set a formatter for your handlers. For example:

formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
