logger
Python logging helper
What it is and what it does
Logger is a Python logging helper that was last released on 2013-10-22. The package provides utilities to simplify logging configuration and management, though the exact scope of its functionality is not documented in available metadata. It has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install.
The package is in abandoned maintenance status with no tracked repository activity or recent releases. Given the time elapsed since its last release, it is likely incompatible with modern Python versions and logging best practices. The license is also unclear, creating legal uncertainty for users.
Use it for:
- Legacy Python projects that already depend on this specific logging helper and cannot migrate.
- Historical codebases where logger is deeply integrated and replacement is not feasible.
- Educational or archival purposes to understand older Python logging patterns.
Worth the install?
AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
A Python logging helper that provides utilities for configuring and managing application logs.
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2013-10-22), has unclear licensing, and offers no documented advantage over Python's standard logging module. Modern projects should use the standard library or actively maintained alternatives. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it.

Before you install
High install friction and abandoned maintenance status (last release 2013-10-22, no commits tracked) make this a risky choice. The package has not been updated in many years.
License in practice
License treatment is unclear—the raw license is marked UNKNOWN with no SPDX identifier. Before installing, verify the actual license terms from the package source or maintainer.
Quickstart
pip install logger==1.4
import logger
# Exact usage pattern not documented in fact sheet
Package is abandoned (last release 2013-10-22) and may have compatibility issues with modern Python versions; requires_python is unspecified.
