Set LOGURU_AUTOINIT to False

I don’t mind having an option to auto-init the sinks, but have it set to True by default seems off to me. As a novice user of the library i would think that i don’t have any sinks set up at the start therefore calling the .info method would yield nothing. So wouldn’t it be better to set it to False?

Hi @Trapov.

I understand your point, and I think you are absolutely right in theory. It can be quite surprising for a logger to emit output while it has not been explicitly configured.

But Loguru is made to be as easy as possible to use. It should provide reasonable defaults which suit the main use cases. I think being able to use a logger without much configuration is a key for convenience.

This is especially true for logging, you import it because you gonna use it, so why bother with adding a stderr sink to each of newly created scripts, while this could be done automatically?

This reduces the temptation to use print() instead of the logger. In particular, I’m afraid that having to explicitly set an environment variable is a too high entry barrier for the novice user, and not much helpful. I think in most of the cases, a default sink which prints to stderr something is enjoyable, so it’s an acceptable behavior as long as advanced user can disable it.

didn’t think of that, thanks @Delgan
