cement.ext.ext_colorlog¶

Requirements¶

• ColorLog (pip install colorlog)

Configuration¶

This handler honors all of the same configuration settings as the LoggingLogHandler including:

• level
• file
• to_console
• rotate
• max_bytes
• max_files

In addition, it also supports:

• colorize_file_log
• colorize_console_log

A sample config section (in any config file) might look like:

[log.colorlog]
file = /path/to/config/file
level = info
to_console = true
rotate = true
max_bytes = 512000
max_files = 4
colorize_file_log = false
colorize_console_log = true

Usage¶

from cement.core.foundation import CementApp

class MyApp(CementApp):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        extensions = ['colorlog']
        log_handler = 'colorlog'

with MyApp() as app:
    app.run()
    app.log.debug('This is my debug message')
    app.log.info('This is my info message')
    app.log.warning('This is my warning message')
    app.log.error('This is my error message')
    app.log.fatal('This is my critical message')

The colors can be customized by passing in a colors dictionary mapping overriding the ColorLogHandler.Meta.colors meta-data:

from cement.core.foundation import CementApp
from cement.ext.ext_colorlog import ColorLogHandler

COLORS = {
    'DEBUG':    'cyan',
    'INFO':     'green',
    'WARNING':  'yellow',
    'ERROR':    'red',
    'CRITICAL': 'red,bg_white',
}

class MyApp(CementApp):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        log_handler = ColorLogHandler(colors=COLORS)

Or by sub-classing and creating your own custom class:

from cement.core.foundation import CementApp
from cement.ext.ext_colorlog import ColorLogHandler

class MyCustomLog(ColorLogHandler):
    class Meta:
        label = 'my_custom_log'
        colors = {
            'DEBUG':    'cyan',
            'INFO':     'green',
            'WARNING':  'yellow',
            'ERROR':    'red',
            'CRITICAL': 'red,bg_white',
        }

class MyApp(CementApp):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        log_handler = MyCustomLog

class cement.ext.ext_colorlog.ColorLogHandler(*args, **kw)¶

Bases: cement.ext.ext_logging.LoggingLogHandler

This class implements the cement.core.log.ILog interface. It is a sub-class of cement.ext.ext_logging.LoggingLogHandler which is based on the standard logging library, and adds colorized console output using the ColorLog library.

Note This extension has an external dependency on colorlog. You must include colorlog in your applications dependencies as Cement explicitly does not include external dependencies for optional extensions.

class Meta¶

Bases: object

Handler meta-data.

colors = {'WARNING': 'yellow', 'CRITICAL': 'red,bg_white', 'INFO': 'green', 'ERROR': 'red', 'DEBUG': 'cyan'}¶

Color mapping for each log level

config_defaults = {'rotate': False, 'colorize_console_log': True, 'max_bytes': 512000, 'colorize_file_log': False, 'max_files': 4, 'file': None, 'to_console': True, 'level': 'INFO'}¶

Default configuration settings. Will be overridden by the same settings in any application configuration file under a [log.colorlog] block.

formatter_class¶

Formatter class to use for colorized logging

alias of ColoredFormatter

formatter_class_without_color¶

Formatter class to use for non-colorized logging (non-tty, file, etc)

alias of Formatter

label = 'colorlog'¶

The string identifier of the handler.
