Log formatting with colors!
Project Description
colorlog.ColoredFormatter is a formatter for use with pythons logging module.
It allows colors to be placed in the format string, which is mostly useful when paired with a StreamHandler that is outputting to a terminal. This is accomplished by added a set of terminal color codes to the record before it is used to format the string.
Usage
ColoredFormatter requires at minumum a format string, and takes two options - reset and color_levels, which are shown using values equivalent to the defaults the following example.
from colorlog import ColoredFormatter formatstring = "%(bg_level)s%(levelname)-8s%(reset)s %(blue)%(message)s" levels = { 'DEBUG': 'cyan', 'INFO': 'green', 'WARNING': 'yellow', 'ERROR': 'red', 'CRITICAL': 'red', } formatter = ColoredFormatter(formatstring, reset=True, color_levels=levels)
The formatter can then be used in a normal logging setup.
Licence
colorlog is distributed under the MIT Licence.
