I am trying to use the framework, because this is what the bootcamp advocates for.
However, the log and Debug functions are only available in the algorithm class.
How do you log and print messages from the Universe and Alpha classes ?

How do you debug universe and alpha in the framework ?

There is an event handler for this called
OnEndOfAlgorithm
Example of use:
def OnEndOfAlgorithm(self):
self.Debug("Algorithm stopped!")
Further details: class reference.

Ok so I got my answer: it looks like the “algorithm” object is passed to the UniverseSelectionModel, and this object has all the API from the algorithm class.
It would be nice to have that explained in the tutorial.
BTW, where can we see the code for the framework helper functions? The documentation on these is very poor.
Thanks
