When developing plugins I always find myself opening the Log window and the Python console, after I start up QGIS. It would be nice to have a way to save the panel layout. At the moment though, your code snippet is sufficient for my needs.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
For what I know there is no api call for it directly, but you can search<br>
for child widgets in the main panel, something like this:<br>
<br>
for widget in iface.mainWindow().children():<br>
if widget.objectName() == 'MessageLog':<br>
widget.show()<br>
<br>
Or shorter (but trickier):<br>
<br>
iface.mainWindow().findChild(QDockWidget, 'MessageLog').show()<br>
<br>
With me this pops up the Messagelog Panel (though then you do not have<br>
your tab yet, but that is a child of that one probably...)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

Ps what do you want to use it for, because more people see the use of it<br>
maybe we can just add it (or ask to be added?)?<br>
