Is there a way to alter the print statement in Python to include the thread name before any printed message?

Currently my print statements look like

print("[%s] Some text... " % self.name)
>> [thread_name] Some text...

I have a multithreaded web server where I track some behavior from each thread and it quickly gets tedious adding the above pattern to each print statement. Is there a quick way to redefine the print() function like this?

    Perhaps by using logging instead of print(...). See docs.python.org/3/howto/… Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 13:41

  • I assume you have a common class that you're instantiating for each thread? Or where exactly is self.name coming from? Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 13:46
  • @KarlKnechtel Yes, each thread is a class instance inheriting from threading.Thread, where I self.name them according to what they do. Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 14:29
