How to disable showing the name of the variable?

[kacperpaczos]

In this code:

from icecream import ic as original_ic
import datetime

def ic(*args, **kwargs):
    current_time = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    log_message = f"<<{current_time}>> " + " ".join(map(str, args))
    try:
        original_ic(log_message, **kwargs)
    except Exception as e:
        original_ic(f"An error occurred: {e}")

I have output:

log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '
log_message: '<<22:49:48>> '

In this case, log_message is not necessary. How to disable showing the name of the variable?

@kacperpaczos likely best just to use print() here instead of ic(). unless you have a lot of other ic configuration you want to use, too. like ic.configureOutput(includeContext=true)
