running Flask with waitress having web traffic log...

[SpongeB0B]

Hi everyone,

Following my previous thread: Flask-Self-hosted-deployment-which-server

I will use Waitress as I'm running this under Windows :/

I would like to have the web traffic logged.
but according to Waitress documentation

Waitress logs error conditions, debugging output, etc., but not web traffic. For web traffic logging, Paste provides TransLogger middleware.

So actually I have to use PasteDeploy to lunch waitress and have a config.ini file with the setup...

Not that simple...

Does somebody know how to use this ?

Or do you know an alternative to waitress that provide web traffic log and can run on Windows ?

I found some guidance

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5237...ress-serve
https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/...astedeploy

But in the .ini , file I don't know what to put in line 2 ->

[app:wsgiapp]
use = egg:mypackage#wsgiapp

Thanks

I'm advancing.

Instead of launch my app trough an .ini file, according to the Waitress doc I can do ->

from waitress import serve
from paste.translogger import TransLogger

if __name__ == "__main__":
	serve(TransLogger(app, setup_console_handler=False))

But I get:

Output:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paste.translogger'

Any idea who to fix that ?

for anyone who's concerned, after installing paste pip install Paste, then

waitress.serve(TransLogger(app))

works like a charm.
