If the message to be displayed is part of the actual UX of a command
line tool, our advice is "You don't want the logging module, you want
the print() builtin":
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#when-to-use-logging

As a relevant technical detail, it's also worth noting that the
default handler emits messages on stderr, while CLI UX messages should
generally be displayed on stdout.

Cheers,
Nick.
