It would be a nice feature to have if you could have a library that uses the robot.api.logger to log messages to just work when used in a remote server using the PythonRemoteServer.

   I am looking for this 'feature' too. It seems very strange not to support Robots own logging in a Robot server.
   I know python "print" output is picked up.
   But, as an example, I run the OperatingSystem Copy File keyword, but the INFO message gets lost on the remote system somewhere. This needs to be reported back to the output of the calling script.
   I tried registering my own logger in my remote library as follows:
   class RFremoteLogger(Logger): # Inherit from robot.output.logger.Logger
   def message(self, record):
   print record
   . . .
   if name == 'main':
   from robotremoteserver import RobotRemoteServer
   LOGGER.register_logger(RFremoteLogger)
   RobotRemoteServer(MyRemoteLib(), *sys.argv[1:])

   But this didn't work. No error, but also no output. I tried some other variations but no luck.
   Any suggestions how to get the output?

   For anyone else coming here: I solved it with this bit of code in my remote library:

   from robot.api import logger

   def remote_log_message(message,level,html=False):
   print '{} {}'.format(level, message)

   logger.write = remote_log_message

   This works because most Robot libraries import logger from robot.api - where we replace the definition of write.

   Yep, official support for robot.api.logger as well as for Python's logging module would be nice.
