Textual

Using the Console

Start the console using the textual console command as shown below. NOTE the (textual) $ is just an indicator that the user is in a Python venv environment called textual (with the Textual packages installed):

(textual) $ textual console

Connect your app (e.g. my_app.py) to the console:

textual run --dev my_app.py

Decreasing Verbosity

Log messages are classififed into groups, and the -x flag can be used to exclude all message from a group. The groups are: EVENT, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, PRINT, SYSTEM, LOGGING and WORKER. The group a message belongs to is printed after its timestamp.

Multiple groups may be excluded, for example to exclude everything except warning, errors, and print statements:

textual console -x SYSTEM -x EVENT -x DEBUG -x INFO
