Logging and Error Handling for Bots
Build resilient simple bots by adding structured logging and graceful error handling so failures are visible and recoverable.
Why Bots Need Logs
A bot runs unattended, often on a schedule. When something breaks, you are not watching. Logging leaves a trail so you can diagnose what happened after the fact.
Without logs, a silent failure can go unnoticed for days.
print() Is Not Logging
Beginners use print(), but it has no levels, no timestamps, and no easy way to redirect to a file. Python's logging module solves all of this.
print('something happened') # no level, no time, hard to manageAll lessons in this course
