Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library requires Windows; it will not install or run on Linux/macOS.

fix

Only use on Windows systems or Windows compatibility layers like Wine.

affects: all

deprecatedSome features rely on pywin32; ensure it is installed separately on Python 3.12+ as it is no longer bundled.

fix

Run 'pip install pywin32' if you encounter ImportError for win32api.

affects: >=0.0.10

breakingAPI breaking change in 0.0.10: 'open()' method now returns a context manager; old 'log.open()' without 'with' may cause resource leaks.

fix

Use 'with log.open():' or call 'log.close()' explicitly.

affects: >=0.0.10
