Dumpcatcher: Python Client

For the python dumpcatcher client I decided to go with the standard python logging infrastructure. While there was definitely something lacking in the python documentation for logging.py I found all the information I needed with a combination of the docs and the source code itself. Creating a python client for the dumpcatcher is now pretty simple:

import handler  # from dumpcatcher.clients.python.logging

logger = logging.getLogger('my_tag')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)  
logger.addHandler(
      DumpcatcherHandler('agtkdW1wY2F0Y2hlcnINCxIHUHJvZHVjdBgCDA',
                         '9b6c65910428419db0d0b730278b72e3',
                         'http://localhost:8080/add',
                         5))


try:
  'a' + 1  # TypeError!
except Exception, e:
  logger.exception('Oh man! Look at this!')

The output of which looks something like:

handler.py:110:broken Oh man! Look at this!

handler.py:110:broken Oh man! Look at this! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jlapenna/code/dumpcatcher/clients/python/logging/handler.py", line 108, in broken 'a' + 1 TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects File "/home/jlapenna/code/dumpcatcher/clients/python/logging/handler.py", line 110, in broken logger.exception('Oh man! Look at this!')

Looking at this now, it seems that all I have left is the java client and data aggregation before I'm feature complete!
