logpretty

Beautiful, colorful logging for Python — zero config

Before / After

Before (default Python logging):

INFO:root:Server started
WARNING:app.auth:Invalid token
ERROR:app.db:Connection failed

After (with logpretty):

14:32:05  INFO      app.main                   Server started
14:32:06  WARNING   app.auth                   Invalid token
14:32:07  ERROR     app.db                     Connection failed

With colors: INFO is green, WARNING is yellow, ERROR is red.
