PyCharm - colored output in django console

Question

The problem is that when I'm lauching dev-server through Kubuntu's Konsole app, debug output is colored:

But wher I'm launching it trough built-in "Run" or "Debug" in PyCharm, the output in PyCharm's console is all red:

Is there a way to make output in PyCharm colored? Because I can't find anything related in Settings.

Some time ago I wrote a code snippet that does the thing for me. It's not a perfect solution, but does the trick. BSD License

To use it:

• Option 1: git clone/download this and import it somewhere (e.g. django development settings). Read the module docstring and the readme for details.

• Option 2: include the code snippet below into your django development/debug settings (or anywhere else, where it will be run early). It's automatically verified with SHA-2 against file changes.

try:  # Colored logger CaaS. Auto downloaded and verified.
    import os
    import hashlib
    from urllib import request
    url, sha256 = "https://lab.it.hs-hannover.de/lukyanch/pydevutils/raw/c531eaf7/colored_logger.py", "083e1a39cfdbe17a7126188b5477fb8f324be8106a39ed4a00faeb3f18c5aedc"
    cached_file = "/tmp/{0}.py".format(sha256)
    code = bool(os.path.exists(cached_file) or [request.urlretrieve(url, cached_file), print("Downloaded: " + url)]) and open(cached_file, "r").read()
    assert hashlib.sha256(code.encode()).hexdigest() == sha256, os.remove(cached_file) or "Bad content: " + cached_file
    exec(code)
except Exception as e:
    print("No colored logger: {e.__class__.__name__}: {e}".format(e=e))

"grep console" is the plugin which handles this perfectly: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7125-grep-console
