logzero is a Python library that provides a fully configured, easy-to-use logger for Python 2 and 3, with colored console output, rotating logfile support, and optional JSON logging. It is contained in a single file with no required dependencies and is MIT licensed.

Use cases

  • add simple colored logging to a python script
  • log to a rotating logfile in python
  • output logs as in python
  • share one logfile across multiple python processes
  • replace boilerplate python logging configuration

When to choose

  • you want zero-config, pretty logging in a Python 2 or 3 project
  • you need console colors plus rotating file logging with minimal setup
  • you want optional JSON-formatted logs without extra wiring

When to avoid

  • you need structured logging features beyond what logzero offers (e.g. distributed tracing)
  • your project requires actively maintained dependencies with recent releases
  • you are not using Python
