[research environment] Logging in the research environment

Is it possible to use logging in the research environment?

Hi Dave,

What do you mean by logging? If you mean writing out to a file you can download (or copy & paste into a local file), the answer is no. It is the same deal as with the IDE backtester--Quantopian can't let licensed data out into the wild.

However, I'm guessing that you can write out an unlimited amount of data to a variable, store it in the notebook, and then flip through it bit-by-bit manually (or search/filter it, to find information).

Hi Grant,
I'm referring to the logging module and using log.info, log.debug etc. as in the IDE. The module appears to be in the environment, but importing it is not allowed.
