## Installation

Supported Python versions ranges from 3.9 (minimum version) up to the latest (3.14). Supported platforms are Windows, Linux and MacOs.

```bash
pip install spydlog
```

## Documentation

Please refer to the official documentation of [spdlog](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki) and see the [documentation](https://github.com/romainaugier/spydlog/blob/main/DOCUMENTATION.md) for examples.

## Performance

A benchmark against the native logger module is avaiable in benchmarks. The results are great, but some improvements can be made to the bindings (for console-logging especially).

Some code and text of this repository has been generated by AI using Claude, via the web interface.

 - Python test code has initially been generated by Claude and modified by the author.
 - Python Stubs have been auto-generated by nanobind and fixed by Claude for better type inference and clear wrapping of C++ types not converted correctly by the nanobind generator.
 - Documentation has been generated by Claude given the existing stubs and code.
 - Benchmark code has been generated by Claude.

Although LLMs are not on-par with a human brain for everything, they do a good job when it comes to summarizing/generating text given a good input, that's why it was practical to use them in that case. Critical code (cpp bindings) has been written by hand and carefully reviewed and tested.
