Description

The C target has a few useful user-facing APIs such as DEBUG_PRINT() and error_print() that will allow the user to add thread-safe print statements in the body of reactions. The output (or lack thereof) of these APIs can then be controlled using the logging target specification.

This could be a very useful feature in the Python target as well.

To-Do

  • Implement log functions
  • Update the wiki once this feature is implemented.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked C target documentation for DEBUG_PRINT() and error_print(), then compare how the Python target handles user-facing output and the logging target specification. Done means the Python target provides equivalent log functions with controllable output and the wiki is updated to document them.
