It offers colored console output (with Windows support via colorama), rotating file handlers, JSON formatting, and a global default logger accessible as logzero.logger, plus a setup_logger() function for custom loggers. The package is intentionally lightweight\u2014contained in a single file\u2014and handles encoding edge cases robustly.\n\nThe package targets developers who want logging without wrestling with the standard library's configuration complexity. It supports Python 2 and 3, and integrates with python-json-logger for structured logging. However, the repository is archived with the last commit on 2022-11-27, meaning no active maintenance, no bug fixes, and no compatibility updates for modern Python releases.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need simple logging and accept the maintenance risk. The package is stable and works well for its narrow use case, but the abandoned status means no fixes for compatibility issues, security updates, or dependency conflicts. Suitable for personal projects, scripts, or applications you control fully; risky for production systems or long-term maintenance obligations. Consider actively maintained alternatives if you need ongoing support."},"id":"logzero","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/logzero","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/logzero.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/logzero/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-03-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"logzero","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Robust and effective logging for Python 2 and 3"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":997404,"position":4545,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.0"}
