Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

glog

✓ import glog

Basic usage showing log levels and exception logging.

import glog if __name__ == '__main__': glog.info('This is an informational message') glog.warn('This is a warning') glog.error('This is an error') try: 1/0 except ZeroDivisionError: glog.exception('Caught an exception')

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedglog uses `glog.warn()` which is deprecated; use `glog.warning()` as per Python logging conventions.

fix

Replace `glog.warn(...)` with `glog.warning(...)`.

affects: all

gotchaglog outputs to stderr by default, not stdout. This can confuse users expecting console output.

fix

Redirect stderr if needed, or configure logging to output elsewhere.

affects: all

gotchaglog uses its own formatting and does not respect Python's standard logging configuration. Changes via `logging.basicConfig` have no effect.

fix

Use glog's internal configuration or consider another library if you need standard logging integration.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'glog' has no attribute 'set_level'

glog does not expose a set_level function; levels are set via environment variable GLOG_minloglevel or flags.

fix

Set the environment variable GLOG_minloglevel (e.g., export GLOG_minloglevel=1) or use glog's internal logging level control.

ImportError: No module named glog

glog is not installed or the package name is confused with google-glog (C++).

fix

Install with 'pip install glog'. Note: this is a Python-only package, not the C++ Google logging library.

TypeError: log() missing 1 required positional argument: 'msg'

Calling glog.log() incorrectly; glog.log() requires at least a message argument.

fix

Use glog.info('message'), glog.warning('message'), etc., instead of glog.log().
