It integrates as a standard logging.Formatter, so you pass it to a handler and all logs automatically emit as logfmt without touching any existing log statements. The formatter accepts configuration for which fields to include (like log level, timestamp, process name), custom key-to-LogRecord-attribute mappings, default values, and fields to exclude.\n\nThe package handles both simple log messages and extra dictionaries passed to logging calls, formatting them as space-separated key=value pairs. It supports subclassing for custom value formatting and can template default values using format strings. With no external dependencies and active maintenance, it's designed as a drop-in way to adopt structured logging in existing applications.","worth_installing":"Yes. Logfmter is a lightweight, dependency-free formatter that solves a real problem\u2014adopting structured logging without refactoring existing code. Active maintenance, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction make it a safe choice.
