Absolutely. I say "print" in IIDPIO because it's a word that people
understand across languages, across frameworks, etc, etc, but when you
start doing more of it, the logging module is definitely superior - if
you need just one reason to use it, it would be to *leave those prints
in place* so the next person doesn't need to reach for IIDPIO at all.

(Also, I teach print() because it's one less module to explain. But
experienced programmers should get some familiarity with it.)
