How to add a custom loglevel to Python's logging facility

Question

I\'d like to have loglevel TRACE (5) for my application, as I don\'t think that debug() is sufficient. Additionally log(5, msg) isn\'t what I want.

Answer 1

I took the avoid seeing "lambda" answer and had to modify where the log_at_my_log_level was being added. I too saw the problem that Paul did – I don't think this works. Don't you need logger as the first arg in log_at_my_log_level? This worked for me

import logging
DEBUG_LEVELV_NUM = 9 
logging.addLevelName(DEBUG_LEVELV_NUM, "DEBUGV")
def debugv(self, message, *args, **kws):
    # Yes, logger takes its '*args' as 'args'.
    self._log(DEBUG_LEVELV_NUM, message, args, **kws) 
logging.Logger.debugv = debugv
