How To Install python-tracing on Debian 9
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-tracing on Debian 9.
What is python-tracing
python-tracing is:
Provides the Python library ’tracing’ to help with logging debug messages. This library provides a function for logging debug messages. It is sometimes practical during software development to add a lot of debugging log messages to a program, but having them enabled all the time results in very large log files. Also, logging that much takes quite a bit of time.
This module provides a way to turn such debugging (or tracing) messages
on and off, based on the filename they occur in. It is much faster than
using logging.Filter to accomplish the same thing, which matters
when code is run in production mode. The actual logging still happens
using the logging library.
