[hgrecco]

• feats.py: vascotenner/lantz@6f4c068
  • Add documentation to limits parameter: The documentation is already there albeit much smaller
  • Add stringparser in install_requires
• lantz-monitor.py vascotenner/lantz@e466886 : bug fixes (but see below)
• action.py: vascotenner/lantz@4be7216 (adds a log_output argument, but see below)
• processors.py & test_feat.py: vascotenner/lantz@2a42718
  • warn -> warning

Regarding lantz-monitor. I am not sure if we should keep this within lantz. I have been using cutelog together with log_to_socket and is great. lantz-monitor does more than that because it understand lantz log messages. But my recomendation would be that we move this out so it can evolve independently

Regarding log_output. I am not sure what is the use of this argument. It toggles between showing the type or the value of the argument. We could just log both.

Regarding log_output. I am reading out a camera with 12mp frames at 1Gbps. I never want to log this very large datastream.

@vascotenner Makes sense but maybe we should add it as an standard option for all feats/actions

Specific proposal:

1. Provide a way to log the type (instead of the value) for all input/ouput arguments.
2. Can be toggled on definition or during execution for each feat/dictfeat/action independently
3. Default is to log values

To resolve:

1. Should be provide different flags for inputs and one for outputs?
2. API?

[vascotenner]

Specific proposal:
2. Is there an easy way? In the old feats many of its settings are hidden in very highly complicated (and undocumented) dict[MISSING][MISSING] structures.

To resolve:

1. Only one flag to log all input and output values
2. API Proposal:

Feat(log_values=True)
"""
:param log_values: True: Include values of input and output parameters, False: Only include type in log.
"""

I think we can do this in pimpmyclass
here:
https://github.com/hgrecco/pimpmyclass/blob/master/pimpmyclass/props.py#L260
and here:
https://github.com/hgrecco/pimpmyclass/blob/master/pimpmyclass/methods.py#L95

with a custom config flag.

I have pushed an initial implementation to pimpmyclass here

If will test it more and if I am happy I will make a new release and use it in lantz.
