Description
The benefit from this would be that this package would be usable even when ran as a pure Python package without Robot Framework module thus increasing its usability and popularity.
For example keyword Input Password will fail when running python myselenium_tests.py (ie. without robot module), because keyword is modifying Robot Framework log levels.
