Python Logging to Tkinter Text Widget

Question

Does any one out there have an example of how to setup logging in Python to a Tkinter Text Widget? I have seen this used in several apps but cannot figure out how to direct

Answer 1

You should subclass logging.Handler, e.g.:

import logging
from Tkinter import INSERT

class WidgetLogger(logging.Handler):
    def __init__(self, widget):
        logging.Handler.__init__(self)
        self.widget = widget

    def emit(self, record):
        # Append message (record) to the widget
        self.widget.insert(INSERT, record + '\n')
