Notify

from panda3d.core import Notify
class Notify

Bases: DTOOL_SUPER_BASE

An object that handles general error reporting to the user. It contains a pointer to an ostream, initially cerr, which can be reset at will to point to different output devices, according to the needs of the application. All output generated within Panda should vector through the Notify ostream.

This also includes a collection of Categories and Severities, which may be independently enabled or disabled, so that error messages may be squelched or respected according to the wishes of the user.
