std-nslog

std-nslog is a shim that redirects stderr/stdout to the Apple System Log (NSLog). This can be useful when deploying Python code as a standalone app on macOS or iOS.

Usage

std-nslog primary exists as a utility for briefcase deployments. You shouldn't ever need to install it yourself. However, just in case...

To install std-nslog:

$ pip install std-nslog

Then, in your code, import nslog. This will install the shim. The file only needs to be imported once; preferably as early as possible in the

Once installed, all output written to stdout and stderr will be redirected to the Apple System Log.

Why no pun?

While an obscure joke referencing apples and logs might be amusing, it would make no sense when it appeared in a Briefcase requirements file.
