Instead of importing logging, calling getLogger(__name__), and manually configuring basicConfig in each module, you import minilog and call its init() method once. It produces standard library logging records behind the scenes with automatic formatting for non-strings, so the output is compatible with existing logging infrastructure.\n\nThe package targets developers who want logging in their projects but find the standard library's setup overhead excessive for straightforward cases. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12 and has been stable since its initial release, though development has slowed (last release 720 days ago). With no runtime dependencies, it installs cleanly and integrates into any Python project.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you want to reduce logging boilerplate in simple projects. The package is stable, permissively licensed, has zero dependencies, and works across modern Python versions. The aging maintenance status (last release 720 days ago) is not a blocker for a mature, low-complexity tool, but it signals this is a stable utility unlikely to gain new features. Install it for convenience in small scripts and libraries; skip it if you need active development or advanced logging features."},"id":"minilog","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/minilog","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/minilog.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/minilog/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"minilog","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Minimalistic wrapper for Python logging."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":141164,"position":11248,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.1"}
