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.
