install with pip #11

is there a way to install this library with pip?

I feel many could be confused between this and the standard python logger library.

Hi, the package is not registered on pypi if that's your question. If needed, you can still use a pip install -e . in a local version of the repository (e.g. after a git clone).

This is a small and simple package I've found to be useful for my research. It is meant to be a small codebase easy to tweak and adapt, not a large and widespread library. I understand it can be confused for the python logging library, but I don't consider this is to be a big issue given the use case. I'm open to suggestions though.

bgenchel commented 6 years ago

sure thing; and I apologize for opening an issue about this. There is something that pip can install that is just called 'logger', not 'logging', though I'm now unsure of what that thing is, since PyPI does not have a package that is simply called 'logger'.

lberrada commented 6 years ago

No worries. The pypi package seems to be located here, it's just some configuration for the python standard logging.

If I could make a naive suggestion, not knowing much about use cases and such, perhaps the ambiguity could be resolved by renaming this package 'scientific-logger' or something like that?

But then again, perhaps this ambiguity is so rare it's not worthwhile haha.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it for future improvements.
