import logging
logger=logging.getLogger()
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

now simply add logger.debug('debug message')
wherever needed instead of print statements

alternatively
import logging
logger=logging.getLogger()
logging.basicConfig(filename='logfile',level=logging.DEBUG)

if you would prefer to log to a file instead.

A New Way of Taking Pills
	A physician one night in Wisconsin being disturbed by a burglar, 
and
having no ball or shot for his pistol, noiselessly loaded the weapon with
small, hard pills, and gave the intruder a "prescription" which he thinks
will go far towards curing the rascal of a very bad ailment.
