My AoC TemplateLoggingUsing ColoursReusable Code

Since I initially showed you my AoC template, we have:

• Created a reusable library of code that will be useful for solving AoC problems
• Established how to add colour to our logging

So let’s update the template to make use of these things:

import logging
import time
import aoc_common.aoc_commons as ac

YEAR = 2017
DAY = 1

locations = ac.get_locations(__file__)
logger = ac.retrieve_console_logger(locations.script_name)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# td.setup_file_logging(logger, locations.output_dir)
try:
    ac.write_puzzle_input_file(YEAR, DAY, locations)
except ValueError as e:
    logger.error(e)

def main():
    with open(locations.sample_input_file, mode="rt") as f:
    # with open(locations.input_file, mode="rt") as f:        
        data = f.read().splitlines()
        
    logger.debug(data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    t1 = time.perf_counter()
    main()
    t2 = time.perf_counter()
    logger.info("Execution time: %.3f seconds", t2 - t1)

If we run this template code, the output looks like this:
