## Source excerpt

logzero is a simple and effective logging library for Python, with colored stream output, logfile, syslog, JSON formatting and much more: https://github.com/metachris/logzero After a really busy period with my second 🐣, I start to find a little bit of time here and there for fun projects. Recently I've enjoyed a few evenings maintaining logzero, culminating in a small release today: logzero v1.6 🎉 logzero v1.6 has several improvements: JSON formatting (with integrated python-json-logger) Easily change colors to custom color codes Allow creating of root loggers Allow file logging with lower loglevel than stream Project readme and history was converted to markdown and displays nicely on PyPI Deprecation of Travis CI Running tests with GitHub Actions, with Python versions up to 3.
