Recording messages using the stream handler is displayed in red in the console

Question

I installed the registrar using the following code

def setup_logging(): import logging import logging.handlers import os #from time import gmtime, strftime #import logging.handlers logger = logging.getLogger('apt') logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # create file handler fh = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(os.path.join('..','logs','apt.log'), maxBytes=1000000, backupCount=5) fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # create console handler ch = logging.StreamHandler() ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # create formatter and add it to the handlers formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s') ch.setFormatter(formatter) fh.setFormatter(formatter) # add the handlers to logger logger.addHandler(ch) logger.addHandler(fh) 

Prints log messages for both the file and the console (this is what I was after). The only problem is that the console message is red. This is distracting, since red makes everything look like an error (when it's just information). How can I change it so that console messages are in a different color?

Ideally, black for debugging and information, red for warning and above.

I use Eclipse and PyDev.

The PyDev console highlights messages for stderr in red by default. Python logging.DEBUG will send messages to stderr. If you want to change this behavior, see This Post: Logging, StreamHandler, and Standard Streams

To change colors in PyDev, see here: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_interactive_console.html
