Log formatting with colors!
===========================

Add colours to the output of Python's `logging` module.

* [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/borntyping/python-colorlog)
* [Packages on PyPI](https://pypi.org/pypi/colorlog/)

Status
------

colorlog currently requires Python 3.6 or higher. Older versions (below 5.x.x) 
support Python 2.6 and above.

* colorlog 6.x requires Python 3.6 or higher.
* colorlog 5.x is an interim version that will warn Python 2 users to downgrade.
* colorlog 4.x is the final version supporting Python 2.

[colorama] is included as a required dependency and initialised when using 
colorlog on Windows.

This library is almost a decade old and supported a wide set of Python versions
for most of its life, which has made it a difficult library to add new features
to. colorlog 6 may break backwards compatibility so that newer features
can be added more easily, but may still not accept all changes or feature
requests. colorlog 4 might accept essential bugfixes but should not be
considered actively maintained and will not accept any major changes or new
features.

Installation
------------

Install from PyPI with:

```bash
pip install colorlog
```

Several Linux distributions provide official packages ([Debian], [Fedora], 
[Gentoo], [OpenSuse] and [Ubuntu]), and others have user provided packages
([Arch AUR], [BSD ports], [Conda]).

Usage
-----

```python
import colorlog

handler = colorlog.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(colorlog.ColoredFormatter(
	'%(log_color)s%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s'))

logger = colorlog.getLogger('example')
logger.addHandler(handler)
```

The `ColoredFormatter` class takes several arguments:

- `format`: The format string used to output the message (required).
- `datefmt`: An optional date format passed to the base class. See [`logging.Formatter`][Formatter].
- `reset`: Implicitly adds a color reset code to the message output, unless the output already ends with one. Defaults to `True`.
- `log_colors`: A mapping of record level names to color names. The defaults can be found in `colorlog.default_log_colors`, or the below example.
- `secondary_log_colors`: A mapping of names to `log_colors` style mappings, defining additional colors that can be used in format strings. See below for an example.
- `style`: Available on Python 3.2 and above. See [`logging.Formatter`][Formatter].

Color escape codes can be selected based on the log records level, by adding
parameters to the format string:

- `log_color`: Return the color associated with the records level.
- `<name>_log_color`: Return another color based on the records level if the formatter has secondary colors configured (see `secondary_log_colors` below).

Multiple escape codes can be used at once by joining them with commas when
configuring the color for a log level (but can't be used directly in the format
string). For example, `black,bg_white` would use the escape codes for black
text on a white background.

The following escape codes are made available for use in the format string:

- `{color}`, `fg_{color}`, `bg_{color}`: Foreground and background colors.
- `bold`, `bold_{color}`, `fg_bold_{color}`, `bg_bold_{color}`: Bold/bright colors.
- `thin`, `thin_{color}`, `fg_thin_{color}`: Thin colors (terminal dependent).
- `reset`: Clear all formatting (both foreground and background colors).

The available color names are `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`,
`purple`, `cyan` and `white`.

Examples
--------

![Example output](doc/example.png)

The following code creates a `ColoredFormatter` for use in a logging setup,
using the default values for each argument.

```python
from colorlog import ColoredFormatter

formatter = ColoredFormatter(
	"%(log_color)s%(levelname)-8s%(reset)s %(blue)s%(message)s",
	datefmt=None,
	reset=True,
	log_colors={
		'DEBUG':    'cyan',
		'INFO':     'green',
		'WARNING':  'yellow',
		'ERROR':    'red',
		'CRITICAL': 'red,bg_white',
	},
	secondary_log_colors={},
	style='%'
)
```

### Using `secondary_log_colors`

Secondary log colors are a way to have more than one color that is selected
based on the log level. Each key in `secondary_log_colors` adds an attribute
that can be used in format strings (`message` becomes `message_log_color`), and
has a corresponding value that is identical in format to the `log_colors`
argument.

The following example highlights the level name using the default log colors,
and highlights the message in red for `error` and `critical` level log messages.

```python
from colorlog import ColoredFormatter

formatter = ColoredFormatter(
	"%(log_color)s%(levelname)-8s%(reset)s %(message_log_color)s%(message)s",
	secondary_log_colors={
		'message': {
			'ERROR':    'red',
			'CRITICAL': 'red'
		}
	}
)
```

### With [`dictConfig`][dictConfig]

```python
logging.config.dictConfig({
	'formatters': {
		'colored': {
			'()': 'colorlog.ColoredFormatter',
			'format': "%(log_color)s%(levelname)-8s%(reset)s %(blue)s%(message)s"
		}
	}
})
```

A full example dictionary can be found in `tests/test_colorlog.py`.

### With [`fileConfig`][fileConfig]

```ini
...

[formatters]
keys=color

[formatter_color]
class=colorlog.ColoredFormatter
format=%(log_color)s%(levelname)-8s%(reset)s %(bg_blue)s[%(name)s]%(reset)s %(message)s from fileConfig
datefmt=%m-%d %H:%M:%S
```

An instance of ColoredFormatter created with those arguments will then be used
by any handlers that are configured to use the `color` formatter.

A full example configuration can be found in `tests/test_config.ini`.

### With custom log levels

ColoredFormatter will work with custom log levels added with
[`logging.addLevelName`][addLevelName]:

```python
import logging, colorlog
TRACE = 5
logging.addLevelName(TRACE, 'TRACE')
formatter = colorlog.ColoredFormatter(log_colors={'TRACE': 'yellow'})
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger = logging.getLogger('example')
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel('TRACE')
logger.log(TRACE, 'a message using a custom level')
```

Tests
-----

Tests similar to the above examples are found in `tests/test_colorlog.py`.

Status
------

colorlog is in maintenance mode. I try and ensure bugfixes are published,
but compatibility with Python 2.6+ and Python 3+ makes this a difficult
codebase to add features to. Any changes that might break backwards
compatibility for existing users will not be considered.

Alternatives
------------

There are some more modern libraries for improving Python logging you may
find useful.

- [structlog]
- [jsonlog]

Projects using colorlog
-----------------------

Some early adopters included [Errbot], [Pythran], and [zenlog].
