logger

1.4 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python maintenance

A simple Python logging helper providing easy setup for logging to console and files with color support. It wraps Python's standard library logging module. Current version: 1.4. Release cadence: infrequent, last updated in 2017.

pip install logger

Common errors

error ImportError: No module named 'logger' ↓

cause The package is named 'logger' and must be installed, but there is also a standard library 'logging' module which is different.

fix

Install the package: pip install logger

error AttributeError: module 'logging' has no attribute 'get_logger' ↓

cause Confusion between the 'logger' package and the built-in 'logging' module.

fix

Use 'import logger' instead of 'import logging'.

Warnings

deprecated The logger package has not been updated since 2017 and relies on older Python versions (2.7/3.4). May not be compatible with newer Python 3.12+. ↓

fix Consider using Python's built-in logging module or a more modern alternative like 'loguru'.

gotcha The 'logger.get_logger()' function returns a Python logging.Logger instance, not a custom class. It does not add any methods beyond standard logging. ↓

fix Use standard logging.Logger methods: .info(), .debug(), etc.
