#### 2.3.7.1. Logging With Python

When creating recipes using Python and inserting code that handles build logs keep in mind the goal is to have informative logs while keeping the console as "silent" as possible. Also, if you want status messages in the log use the "debug" loglevel.

Following is an example written in Python. The code handles logging for a function that determines the number of tasks needed to be run:

         python do_listtasks() {
             bb.debug(2, "Starting to figure out the task list")
             if noteworthy_condition:
                 bb.note("There are 47 tasks to run")
             bb.debug(2, "Got to point xyz")
             if warning_trigger:
                 bb.warn("Detected warning_trigger, this might be a problem later.")
             if recoverable_error:
                 bb.error("Hit recoverable_error, you really need to fix this!")
             if fatal_error:
                 bb.fatal("fatal_error detected, unable to print the task list")
             bb.plain("The tasks present are abc")
             bb.debug(2, "Finished figuring out the tasklist")
         }
