from conda.core import solve

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)


class VerboseSolver(solve.Solver):
    def solve_final_state(self, *args, **kwargs):
        log.info("My verbose solver!")
        return super().solve_final_state(*args, **kwargs)


@plugins.hookimpl
def conda_solvers():
    yield plugins.CondaSolver(
        name="verbose-classic",
        backend=VerboseSolver,
    )

Returns

An iterable of solver entries.
