StandOut logging date/time stamp or general Prefix option?

[cu81...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to figure out a easy way to pre-pend a date/time so I can
format this somewhat like other logfiles in /var/log. I can't see
any sort of TimeStamp option, but maybe I'm missing it. There is a
errPrefix option, but it would be nice if there was a "Prefix" one as
well that would prefix everything. That would make it easy to put in
a timestamp.

I'm still new to using this module so I'm guessing it's been done and
I can't see it, or maybe it's been requested.

Anyways thanks for the great module, it's working great for me. Any
help on this would be appreciated.

Hello Keith,

Hmm... I thought this was in, but browsing the docs [1] it doesn't look
like it is. :-(

It should be easy to add - the best place is probably in the 'write'
method of _Stream, probably in the line "data = self._prefix + data"

All the best,
