macos-oslog - Python bindings for the unified logging and tracing system of macOS

This package is only for macOS and requires macOS 10.12 or higher.

Its purpose is to insert log messages into the unified logging and tracing system of macOS. It does not support reading the unified log.

Example Python code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import macos_oslog

log = macos_oslog.os_log_create(subsystem="com.acme.myapp", category="all")
macos_oslog.os_log(log, macos_oslog.OS_LOG_TYPE_ERROR, "Some error happened")
macos_oslog.os_log_release(log)

Example Python code using the predefined standard log provided by macOS:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import macos_oslog

macos_oslog.os_log(macos_oslog.OS_LOG_DEFAULT, macos_oslog.OS_LOG_TYPE_ERROR, "Some error happened")
