Print statements are good, but logging is better for real-world applications.

# Basic logging setup
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.info('This is an info message.')
logging.warning('This is a warning.')
logging.error('This is an error.')
# Output:
# INFO:root:This is an info message.
# WARNING:root:This is a warning.
# ERROR:root:This is an error.
