logger_isa

Determines if a logger is an instance of or a descendant of a specific parent logger by traversing the logger hierarchy. It raises a RuntimeError if a circular reference is detected or if the hierarchy depth exceeds the specified maximum.

def logger_isa(
    l: logging.Logger,
    p: logging.Logger,
    max: int = 1000
) - > boolean

Checks if a logger is a descendant of a specific parent logger by traversing the hierarchy upwards.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
l	logging.Logger	The child logger instance to start the search from.
p	logging.Logger	The potential ancestor logger instance to check against.
max	int = 1000	The maximum depth to traverse before raising a RuntimeError to prevent infinite loops.

Returns

Type	Description
boolean	True if the parent logger is found in the hierarchy, False if the root is reached without a match.
