I don't want to ask how to do this because there are so many "solutions" about it. <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/384076/how-can-i-color-python-logging-output>
There are so much different and part of unpythontic solutions I can not decide myself. What do you (as real pythontics) think about that. Which of the solutions fit to concepts of Python and its logging package? Coloring means here not only the message itself. The (levelname) should be included in the coloring. For myself coloring the (levelname) would be enough to avoid to much color in the output. 1. The solution itself shouldn't care about plattform differences because there are still some packages which are able to offer plattform-independent console-coloring. Which would you prefere? ;) 2. Some solutions derive from StreamHandler or much more bad hacking the emit() function. I think both of them are not responsible for how the output should look or be presented. 3. How to present the output is IMO the responsibility of a Formater, isn't it? So I should derive from the Formater. What do you as Pythonics think of that? ;) -- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1 mQENBFQIluABCACfPwAhRAwFD3NXgv5CtVUGSiqdfJGVViVBqaKd+14E0pASA0MU G0Ewj7O7cGy/ZIoiZ0+lIEZmzJKHfuGwYhXjR/PhnUDrQIHLBvh9WuD6JQuULXfH kXtVm/i9wm76QAcvr2pwYgNzhcJntUHl2GcgnInYbZDeVmg+p9yIPJjuq73/lRS3 0/McgNoFOBhKK/S6STQuFyjr9OyJyYd1shoM3hmy+kg0HYm6OgQBJNg92WV9jwGe GzlipvEp2jpLwVsTxYir2oOPhfd9D1fC9F/l/3gXbfjd5GIIVrZFq2haZmoVeJ33 LJxo3RA5Tf9LoUeels1b4s9kFz6h7+AHERUpABEBAAG0IUNocmlzdGlhbiBCdWh0 eiA8YnVodHpAcG9zdGVvLmRlPokBPgQTAQIAKAUCVAiW4AIbAwUJAeEzgAYLCQgH AwIGFQgCCQoLBBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQZLsXsAdRqOxNUAf/V/hDA5zGDpySuCEj DhjiVRK74J9Wd8gfH0WAf1Co5HZ24wZH8rgOIVIgXw8rWkOw/VA6xfdfT+64xjTY Fhkpbrk199nDzp72F7Jc4NC+x8xac2e3rK5ifSWhZx7L5A32pGYE+d16m3EEqImK D4gcZl38x9zdUnD4hHyXkIPz1uCfuMuGgWEnaUk4Wbj41CBZr3O0ABue6regV15U jaes8r+B8iCcY+0yP2kse+3iaCaMqNv5FgQZ9+b2Cql8pFkZJVtBVUw4GW3DWZJi du0O/YrC9TgS+xY9ht/MD2qSHwjcK1sdImjqBO7xP8TIOwKeYyDvGKnSO3EJ/sSA UPGEPrkBDQRUCJbgAQgA0k/Qg67CCUJE2/zuxBEoK4wLJpDRJzh8CQPZpjWx8VP0 KL892jwfxymXn8KNhuy1SgCBFSeV9jg4VZNWDlUGJc2lo82ajr9PzIsrQwu4lf0B zrUWV5hWepKu/kb8uSjx58YYfx0SFz4+9akX3Wwu9TUHntzL5Gk3Q26nnsr1xEJ+ VEumvCH9AE0Tk0K7dQpJ2/JcLuO+uhrpd/lHFDYVN5NsG3P015uFOkDI6N/xNFCj v95XNR93QlfKpK3qWlFGescfG+o/7Ub6s67/i/JoNbw0XgPEHmQfXpD7IHO4cu+p +ETb11cz+1mmi96cy98ID+uTiToJ8G//yD9rmtyxoQARAQABiQElBBgBAgAPBQJU CJbgAhsMBQkB4TOAAAoJEGS7F7AHUajs6sQH/iKs6sPc0vkRJLfbwrijZeecwCWF blo/jzIQ8jPykAj9SLjV20Xwqg3XcJyko8ZU6/zuRJq9xjlv9pZr/oVudQAt6v+h 2Cf4rKEjmau483wjMV2xjTXQhZi9+ttDbia4fgdmGtKsOicn5ae2fFXcXNPu3RiW sZKifWdokA6xqMW6iIG9YjjI5ShxngHWp2xfPscBFMDRtFOMags/Yx+YvwoyEZ4A dURYMFHFqpwILEc8hIzhRg1gq40AHbOaEdczS1Rr3T7/gS6eBs4u6HuY5g2Bierm lLjpspFPjMXwJAa/XLOBjMF2vsHPrZNcouNKkumQ36yq/Pm6DFXAseQDxOk= =PGP9 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
