"""
Functions used to report messages and progress updates to the user.
These functions are delegated to zero or more registered L{Logger}
objects, which are responsible for actually presenting the information
to the user.  Different interfaces are free to create and register
their own C{Logger}s, allowing them to present this information in the
manner that is best suited to each interface.

@note: I considered using the standard C{logging} package to provide
this functionality.  However, I found that it would be too difficult
to get that package to provide the behavior I want (esp. with respect
to progress displays; but also with respect to message blocks).

class Logger:
    """
    An abstract base class that defines the interface for X{loggers},
    which are used by epydoc to report information back to the user.
    Loggers are responsible for tracking two types of information:
    
        - Messages, such as warnings and errors.
        - Progress on the current task.

    This abstract class allows the command-line interface and the
    graphical interface to each present this information to the user
    in the way that's most natural for each interface.  To set up a
    logger, create a subclass of C{Logger} that overrides all methods,
    and register it using L{register_logger}.
