Simple class to log to csv using the logging rotating handler, output is a rolling csv log

![csv-logger](csv-logger.png)

Description
-----------
This library allows you to easily log information to CSV file format, in the same fashion as the logging package. This allows you to generate a rolling set of csv logs with a maximum  file size and file count.

Inputs:

* filename
    * main log file name or path. if path, will create subfolders as needed
* level
	* logging level for logs, default INFO
* fmt
	* output format, default '%(asctime)s,%(message)s', accepts 'asctime' 'message' 'levelname'
* datefmt
	* date format for first column of logs, default '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S'
* max_size
	* max size of each log file in bytes, default 10MB (10485760)
* max_files
	* max file count, default 10
* header
	* header to prepend to csv files

Getting started
---------------

Install with ```pip3 install csv_logger```

Basic usage example below.

Since the example is set to only 1kB of data per file, the code results in 2 log files. `log.csv` will always contain the most recent data, and the subsequent files (`log_1.csv` and so on) will have older data.

```python
#!/usr/bin/python3

from csv_logger import CsvLogger
import logging
from time import sleep

filename = 'logs/log.csv'
level = logging.INFO
fmt = '%(asctime)s,%(message)s'
datefmt = '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S'
max_size = 1024  # 1 kilobyte
max_files = 4  # 4 rotating files
header = ['date', 'value_1', 'value_2']

# Creat logger with csv rotating handler
csvlogger = CsvLogger(filename=filename,
                      level=level,
                      fmt=fmt,
                      datefmt=datefmt,
                      max_size=max_size,
                      max_files=max_files,
                      header=header)

# Log some records
for i in range(10):
    csvlogger.info([i, i * 2])
    sleep(0.1)

# You can log list or string
csvlogger.info([1000.1, 2000.2])
csvlogger.critical('3000,4000')

# Log some more records to trigger rollover
for i in range(50):
    csvlogger.info([i * 2, float(i**2)])
    sleep(0.1)

# Read and print all of the logs from file after logging
all_logs = csvlogger.get_logs(evaluate=True)
for log in all_logs:
    print(log)
```
