{"categories":[{"label":"Logging","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/system-logging"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Twiggy is a structured logging library that provides a Pythonic API for emitting log messages with named fields, formatting, and chaining.","skillfed_tags":["structured-logging","abandoned-but-stable"],"use_cases":["Add structured fields (like request IDs or user names) to log entries without manual string formatting.","Build readable log output by chaining method calls (e.g., log.name('module').fields(x=1).info('message')).","Replace Python's standard logging in small to medium projects where a simpler, more Pythonic API is preferred.","Emit logs with consistent, machine-parseable structure for downstream analysis or aggregation."],"what_it_does":"Twiggy is a structured logging library designed to make logging more Pythonic by supporting method chaining, named fields, and a fluent API. Instead of formatting log messages as strings upfront, you attach structured data (fields) to log entries and let the logger handle output formatting. It provides a quick-setup entry point for simple use and a more flexible configuration path for advanced scenarios.\n\nThe package depends only on six for Python 2/3 compatibility. It has been stable since its early releases and is classified as Production/Stable, but development stopped in 2021. The library is lightweight and installs with minimal friction, making it suitable for projects that value clean logging syntax but must accept the trade-off of no ongoing maintenance.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are starting a new project and value a clean, Pythonic logging API and can accept that the package is no longer maintained. No, if you need active bug fixes, security updates, or compatibility with the latest Python versions\u2014consider modern alternatives like structlog or loguru instead. The low install friction and permissive license make it a low-risk experiment for small codebases."},"id":"twiggy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twiggy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twiggy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/twiggy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Twiggy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"a Pythonic logger"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":167615,"position":10466,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.1"}
