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 think you'll have to subclass the Logger class and add a method called trace which basically calls Logger.log with a level lower than DEBUG. I haven't tried this but this is what the docs indicate.
