nicelog 0.1.10

Installation

pip install nicelog

Example usage

import logging
import sys

from nicelog.formatters import Colorful

# Setup a logger
logger = logging.getLogger('foo')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Setup a handler, writing colorful output
# to the console
handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stderr)
handler.setFormatter(Colorful())
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(handler)

# Now log some messages..
logger.debug('Debug message')
logger.info('Info message')
logger.warning('Warning message')
logger.error('Error message')
logger.critical('Critical message')
try:
    raise ValueError('This is an exception')
except:
    logger.exception("An error occurred")

Example output

Here it is, in all its glory:

The output format can be further customized, eg. if you want to reduce colorfulness or verbosity.

Integrations

Django

I usually put something like this in my (local) settings:

LOGGING['formatters']['standard'] = {
    '()': 'nicelog.formatters.ColorLineFormatter',
    'show_date': True,
    'show_function': True,
    'show_filename': True,
    'message_inline': False,
}
