Fork Notice: This is a custom fork of abseil/abseil-py with modified log file naming.

• Issue: Original Abseil creates log files with non-standard naming: app.hostname.user.log.INFO.timestamp.pid
• Fix: Modified to append .log extension: app.hostname.user.log.INFO.timestamp.pid.log
• File: absl/logging/__init__.py:900 - Added .log to basename format string

When Google releases new versions of abseil-py:

# 1. Fetch latest from upstream
git fetch upstream

# 2. Rebase your changes
git rebase upstream/main

# 3. If conflicts occur, apply the patch:
git apply add-log-extension.patch

Patch file creation (run once):

git format-patch -1 HEAD --stdout > add-log-extension.patch

pip install git+https://github.com/matteolavaggi/abseil-py.git

This repository is a collection of Python library code for building Python applications. The code is collected from Google's own Python code base, and has been extensively tested and used in production.

• Simple application startup
• Distributed commandline flags system
• Custom logging module with additional features
• Testing utilities

To install the package, simply run:

pip install absl-py

Or install from source:

pip install .

To run Abseil tests, you can clone the git repo and run bazel:

git clone https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py.git
cd abseil-py
bazel test absl/...

Please also validate the type annotations against the latest mypy:

pip install mypy
mypy absl

Please refer to smoke_tests/sample_app.py as an example to get started.

See the Abseil Python Developer Guide.

The current repository includes an initial set of libraries for early adoption. More components and interoperability with Abseil C++ Common Libraries will come in future releases.
