simple config for scripts

[felixhummel]

use-case

Simple one-off scripts like this:

import structlog

log = structlog.get_logger()

def do_stuff():
    log.info('doing stuff')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    do_stuff()

problem

In simple scripts like the above, I would like to configure the log level based on a string.
Configuring a FilteringBoundLogger needs much code though:

import logging  
import os  
import structlog
  
_loglevel_name = os.environ.get('LOGLEVEL', 'WARNING').upper()  
_loglevel = getattr(logging, _loglevel_name)  
structlog.configure(  
    wrapper_class=structlog.make_filtering_bound_logger(_loglevel),  
)  
log = structlog.get_logger()  

options

expose NAME_TO_LEVEL

Exposing NAME_TO_LEVEL from _log_levels would reduce the above code to

import os  
import structlog
  
_loglevel_name = os.environ.get('LOGLEVEL', 'WARNING').upper()  
# Note: structlog.NAME_TO_LEVEL does not currently exist in structlog.
_loglevel = structlog.NAME_TO_LEVEL.get(_loglevel_name)
structlog.configure(  
    wrapper_class=structlog.make_filtering_bound_logger(_loglevel),  
)  
log = structlog.get_logger()  

add structlog.basic_config

This is what I would love to have:

import os  
import structlog
  
_loglevel_name = os.environ.get('LOGLEVEL', 'WARNING').upper()  
structlog.basic_config(level_name=_loglevel_name)
log = structlog.get_logger()  

remarks

Maybe there is a simpler way that I could not find in the docs.
Anyway, thanks for this great tool Hynek! :)
