Options for handling missing libraries?

[ThinkTransit]

Any thoughts on a good way to handle missing libraries, for example I like to use the logging module in my projects however when sharing code with others, they may not necessarily have the logging module installed.

This is the best I have but I'm sure there is a more pythonic way?

try:
    import logging
    log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
except ImportError:
    class logging:
        def critical(self, entry):
            print('CRITICAL: ' + entry)
        def error(self, entry):
            print('ERROR: ' + entry)
        def warning(self, entry):
            print('WARNING: ' + entry)
        def info(self, entry):
            print('INFO: ' + entry)
        def debug(self, entry):
            print('DEBUG: ' + entry)
    log = logging()

It's a bit pushy but I prefer

try:
    import logging
except ImportError:
    # If not network connected, from computer run: mpremote mip install "logging"
    import mip
    mip.install("logging")

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Ha ha love it

Or include a requirements-mip.txt file with the dependencies.

That should convey the message, and I hope mpremote will accept this as input at some point in time
