python-logx 1.0.0

A zero-dependency single-file logging library.

🐞 LogX

One file. Ten languages. Zero dependencies.
Copy. Paste. Log.

What if logging were this easy?

from logx import info, warn, error

info("Server started on port %d", 8080)
warn("Memory at %.1f%%", 74.2)
error("Connection lost")

LOGX_INFO("Server started on port %d", 8080);
LOGX_WARN("Memory at %.1f%%", 74.2);
LOGX_ERROR("Connection lost");

logx_info!("Server started on port {}", 8080);
logx_warn!("Memory at {:.1}%", 74.2);
logx_error!("Connection lost");

That's it. No installs. No config files. No npm install hunting down 200 transitive deps.

Why LogX?

Logging should be as easy as print(). But print() doesn't give you levels, timestamps, colors, or file output.

Most logging libraries give you all that — and also give you a headache. Setup, configuration, dependencies, framework lock-in...

LogX is the opposite. One file per language. Same API philosophy everywhere. Drop it in, include it, done.

Why not just print()?

Feature	print()	LogX
Log levels	❌	✅ TRACE, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
Timestamps	❌	✅ [HH:MM:SS.mmm]
File & line	❌	✅ Automatic
Colored output	❌	✅ Auto TTY detection
File logging	❌	✅ Optional, one call
Thread safe	❌	✅ Mutex-guarded
Level filtering	❌	✅ LOG_LEVEL=WARN ./app
Still one file	✅	✅

Language	File	Include
Python	python/logx.py	from logx import info
JavaScript	js/logx.js	const { info } = require('./logx')
TypeScript	ts/logx.ts	import { info } from './logx'
C	c/logx.h	#include "logx.h" → LOGX_INFO(...)
C++	cpp/logx.h	#include "logx.h" → LOGX_INFO << ...
Rust	rust/logx.rs	#[macro_use] mod logx; → logx_info!(...)
Go	go/logx.go	import "yourmodule/logx" → logx.Info(...)
Java	java/logx.java	import Logx; → Logx.info(...)
Zig	zig/logx.zig	@import("logx.zig") → logx.log(.info, ...)
Assembly	asm/logx.asm	%include "logx.asm" → log_info "..."

Install via pip (Python)

pip install python-logx

from logx import trace, info, warn, error, fatal, set_log_file

info("hello %d", 42)
error("something broke")

set_log_file("/tmp/app.log")  # redirect to file

JavaScript (Node)

const { trace, info, warn, error, fatal, setLogFile } = require('./logx');

info('hello %d', 42);
error('something broke');

TypeScript

import { trace, info, warn, error, fatal, setLogFile } from './logx';

info('hello %d', 42);
error('something broke');

C

#include "logx.h"

lx_set_log_file("/tmp/app.log");

gcc -std=c11 main.c -o app -lpthread

C++

#include "logx.h"

int main() {
    LOGX_INFO << "hello " << 42;
    LOGX_ERROR << "something broke";
}

// Optional: log to file
Logx::setLogFile("/tmp/app.log");
Logx::setLogFile();  // back to terminal

g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o app

Rust

#[macro_use] mod logx;

fn main() {
    logx_info!("hello {}", 42);

Philosophy

LogX is not trying to replace OpenTelemetry. It is built for:

• Prototypes & hackathons
• CLI tools & scripts
• Game jams
• Students learning a new language
• Small-to-medium projects
• Anyone who just wants to log without ceremony

"If you can write print(), you already know how to use LogX."
