Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

yes there is builtin library which is logger

if you want to limit your log file size you can use the Rotation method

@terse heath check this out https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging-cookbook.html

There's a lot of good logging solutions there

!d logging

Logger Objects

Loggers have the following attributes and methods. Note that Loggers should NEVER be instantiated directly, but always through the module-level function logging.getLogger(name). Multiple calls to getLogger() with the same name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.

Python has built-in logging

thank to both that first one i thought was library, but actually object

I think you'll find the Cookbook quite useful. There is also a how-to here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html

What RaghavKumar is talking about it also there - what you're looking to do is use a Rotation Handler to rotate the log at when a particular condition is met (in your case when it reaches a certain size).

It's very versatile.
