Understanding the Framework __init__() constructor

The __init__() method for the framework is defined on line 51. In this constructor, we assign the arguments passed to the constructor as instance variables. We also configure the logging module on line 55. Let's look at the run() method, which, as we saw, is called immediately after the Framework object is instantiated:

051     def __init__(self, input_directory, output_directory, log,
052     **kwargs):
053         self.input = input_directory
054         self.output = output_directory
055         logging.basicConfig(filename=log, level=logging.DEBUG,
056                         format=('%(asctime)s | %(levelname)s | '
057                         '%(message)s'), filemode='a')
058         self.log = logging.getLogger(log)
059         self.kwargs = kwargs
