PyCharm logging output colours

Question

I'm using PyCharm to develop a GAE app in Mac OS X. Is there any way to display colours in the run console of PyCharm?

I've set a handler to output colours in ansi format. Then, I've added the handler:

LOG = logging.getLogger() LOG.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) for handler in LOG.handlers:     LOG.removeHandler(handler)  LOG.addHandler(ColorHandler())  LOG.info('hello!') LOG.warning('hello!') LOG.debug('hello!') LOG.error('hello!') 

But the colour is the same.

EDIT:

A response from JetBrains issue tracker: Change line 55 of the snippet from sys.stderr to sys.stdout. stderr stream is always colored with red color while stdout not.

Now colours are properly displayed.

As of at least PyCharm 2017.2 you can do this by enabling:

Run | Edit Configurations... | Configuration | Emulate terminal in output console

Answer 2

PyCharm doesn't support that feature natively, however you can download the Grep Console plugin and set the colors as you like.

I hope it helps somewhat :) although it doesn't provide fully colorized console, but it's a step towards it.
