Python logging: extending standard logger by custom debug levels.

In a recent discussion I advocated for using standard loggers instead of reinventing the square wheel with a custom pretty-printer. Python's logging module is comprehensive enough and comes with 5 default loglevels (debug, info, warning, error and critical). Additionally, it allows for adding your own custom loglevels with addLevelName and invocation of logging.log(customlevel, message). It is also possible to bind custom logging methods to the logger object if the need arises. This should probably never be practiced, but is nevertheless possible, see the code snippet:

import logging

def debug_factory(logger, debug_level):
    def custom_debug(msg, *args, **kwargs):
        if logger.level >= debug_level:
           return
        logger._log(debug_level, msg, args, kwargs)
    return custom_debug    

mylogger = logging.Logger('my-logger')
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(funcName)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
mylogger.addHandler(ch)

for i in range(1,5):
    logging.addLevelName(logging.DEBUG+i, 'DEBUG%i' % i)
    setattr(mylogger, 'debug%i' % i, debug_factory(mylogger, logging.DEBUG+i))

def from_this_function():
    mylogger.debug('test')
    mylogger.debug1('test2')
    mylogger.debug2('test3')

def from_that_function():
    mylogger.debug('test4')
    mylogger.debug1('test5')
    mylogger.debug2('test6')
    mylogger.debug3('test7')
    
def from_another_function():
    mylogger.debug('asdasd')
    mylogger.debug1('agasdf')
    mylogger.debug2('adasdfa')
    mylogger.debug4('asdfa')
    mylogger.warning('blah')

mylogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
from_this_function()    
mylogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG+1)
from_that_function()    
mylogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG+2)
from_another_function()
