I think the lack of an obvious way to get a useful logging config for local development is a pain point we could address.
Here's a patch from a contributor based on a blog post by Dan Poirier [1]: https://github.com/django/django/pull/4362 Do you think this is a good suggestion or do you have a different way of getting useful logging in development? I experimented a little with using an environment variable to modify parts of django.utils.log.DEFAULT_LOGGING to get a useful output if the env var is set to DEBUG, but it didn't seem so simple, besides a solution in django/utils/log.py like: if os.environ.get('DJANGO_CONSOLE_DEBUG'): DEFAULT_LOGGING = (default logging from pull request above) else: DEFAULT_LOGGING = (existing django.utils.log.DEFAULT_LOGGING) [1] http://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2015/01/27/Django-Logging-Configuration-logging_config-default-settings-logger/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
