Addition of logging for debug purposes #15

Open pauliyobo opened 5 years ago

pauliyobo commented 5 years ago

Hi there. I believe that for debug purposes we should log the actions that are occurring in lucia to better debug if needed. For example In issue #12 We were getting an error where the library could not be found when lucia was initializzing. However we did not know where was the library trying to load from to begin with. This enancement could possibly make our life easier. I suggest that an optional argument is added to lucia.initialize() so like: lucia.initialize(debug=True) If not true logging will not be performed.

In addition, I suggest recasting some of the more common external module (ie bass, open al) exceptions to something more human readable, in addition to also throwing more exceptions in our internal code.

I looked into adding debugging, and started doing just that, but when I was researching it I came to the conclusion that just adding a logger would do the trick. It seems like the more standard thing to do and all anyone has to do to take advantage of it is add a few lines of code to their project to direct the handlers. I did this on my own fork. It seems to provide plenty of flexibility.
