overhauled logging

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

We had this idea to overhaul the logging functionality so that it's in a manager just like most of the other functionality. I just finished this up tonight. I'm tossing around other arguments you would want to pass on the command line--haven't gotten there yet.

The next big issues:

  • move the ticker to its manager

  • figure out if command parsing needs some attention in terms of unescaping characters

  • write help files for lyntin and tintin eval modes

  • uncouple hooks from hooks.py so module writers can write their own hooks

  • build a setup.py for distutils installation
