Printing banner shows multiple times for Airflow processes

[dbittenbender]

Current Behaviour

This may be the most idiotic thing I have ever seen in a module. You are blindly displaying a banner by simply importing the module. From what I can tell in the code, there is no way to disable this. Here is the issue, i run this in airflow and use xcom to communicate between tasks. Well, this stupid banner message is always logged which throws off the xcom. Please consider an alternative to promoting your changes.

Expected Behaviour

Stop printing useless information without a way to disable.

ydata-profiling is designed primarily for interactive data analysis and development workflows—not for large-scale, production-grade automation. The message you're seeing is intentional—it appears once and only once per session. Because each Airflow task execution spawns a new Python process, this means the message will appear multiple times.
If you're running profiling in an automated pipeline (e.g., Airflow), it means you're relying on it as part of a critical data workflow. At that scale, you likely need:

• Performance optimizations for faster execution
• Enterprise support & reliability
• Advanced features beyond what open-source provides

We encourage users running production-grade workloads to consider ydata-sdk, which is purpose-built for those scenarios.

We’d love to understand more about your use case! How long have you been using the project, and do you have any feedback?

In the meantime, your input is valuable, and we’ll consider a better solution that serves both end-users and its maintainers.
