Here's a simple drop-in colorizer for Werkzeug (and thus also Flask) logs. It
won't make much sense in production, but makes development a bit more cheerful.
Adding gouge.colourcli to the mix,
makes it even more colourful:
To use it, simply put it in a utility module somewhere, import it and call
colorize_wekzeug .
You will need blessings . If that's not available, the function will not do
any colorizing.
The code is hosted as a gist on GitHub:
import logging
import re
P_REQUEST_LOG = re.compile(r'^(.*?) - - \[(.*?)\] "(.*?)" (\d+) (\d+|-)$')
LOG = logging.getLogger('werkzeug')
def colorize_werkzeug():
"""
Fetches the werkzeug logger and adds a color filter.
This is based on "blessings". If it's not available, this is a no-op!
"""
try:
from blessings import Terminal
except ImportError:

term = Terminal()
method_colors = {
'GET': term.bold_green,
'POST': term.bold_yellow,
'PUT': term.bold_blue,

class WerkzeugColorFilter:

match = P_REQUEST_LOG.match(record.msg)
