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:
return
term = Terminal()
method_colors = {
'GET': term.bold_green,
'POST': term.bold_yellow,
'PUT': term.bold_blue,
'DELETE': term.bold_red,
}
class WerkzeugColorFilter:
def filter(self, record):
match = P_REQUEST_LOG.match(record.msg)
if match:
try:
ip, date, request_line, status_code, size = match.groups()
method = request_line.split(' ')[0] # key 0 always exists
fmt = method_colors.get(method.upper(), term.white)
request_line = fmt(request_line)
ip = term.blue(ip)
date = term.yellow(date)
try:
status_code_value = int(status_code)
if status_code_value >= 500:
status_code = term.yellow_on_red(status_code)
elif status_code_value >= 400:
status_code = term.red(status_code)
elif status_code_value >= 300:
status_code = term.black_on_yellow(status_code)
elif status_code_value >= 200:
status_code = term.green(status_code)
else:
status_code = term.bold_white(status_code)
except ValueError:
pass
record.msg = '%s - - [%s] "%s" %s %s' % (
ip, date, request_line, status_code, size
)
except ValueError:

logging.getLogger('werkzeug').addFilter(WerkzeugColorFilter())
