It provides a `print()` function that automatically indents and formats nested dictionaries and lists for readability, a `same_line()` function that overwrites the previous line (useful for progress indicators), and a `logger()` class that writes messages to both the terminal and a specified log file. The package has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install, though the build artifact shows high install friction that may indicate a packaging or build-time issue.\n\nThe library is designed for developers who want cleaner, more readable output in scripts and applications without the overhead of a full logging framework. It is actively maintained, with the latest release on 2026-04-15. The license status is unclear, which is a consideration for production use.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package solves a real problem\u2014making terminal output more readable\u2014and has no external dependencies, so it's low-risk to try. However, the unclear license status requires verification before use in commercial or restricted-distribution projects, and the high install friction warrants checking whether it resolves cleanly in your environment. Minimal repository engagement suggests limited ecosystem integration or third-party support."},"id":"python-printr","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-printr","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-printr.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-printr/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"python-printr","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"printr"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":144312,"position":11156,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2026.4.15"}
