I already knew about the color escapes, I used them in my bash prompt a while ago. Thanks anyway.
What I wanted was to integrate it with the logging module, which I eventually did after a couple of tries and errors.
Here is what I end up with:
BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, CYAN, WHITE = range(8)
#The background is set with 40 plus the number of the color, and the foreground with 30
#These are the sequences need to get colored ouput
RESET_SEQ = "\033[0m"
COLOR_SEQ = "\033[1;%dm"
BOLD_SEQ = "\033[1m"
def formatter_message(message, use_color = True):
if use_color:
message = message.replace("$RESET", RESET_SEQ).replace("$BOLD", BOLD_SEQ)
else:
message = message.replace("$RESET", "").replace("$BOLD", "")
return message
COLORS = {
'WARNING': YELLOW,
'INFO': WHITE,
'DEBUG': BLUE,
'CRITICAL': YELLOW,
'ERROR': RED
}
class ColoredFormatter(logging.Formatter):
def __init__(self, msg, use_color = True):
logging.Formatter.__init__(self, msg)
self.use_color = use_color
def format(self, record):
levelname = record.levelname
if self.use_color and levelname in COLORS:
levelname_color = COLOR_SEQ % (30 + COLORS[levelname]) + levelname + RESET_SEQ
record.levelname = levelname_color
return logging.Formatter.format(self, record)
And to use it, create your own Logger:
# Custom logger class with multiple destinations
class ColoredLogger(logging.Logger):
FORMAT = "[$BOLD%(name)-20s$RESET][%(levelname)-18s] %(message)s ($BOLD%(filename)s$RESET:%(lineno)d)"
COLOR_FORMAT = formatter_message(FORMAT, True)
def __init__(self, name):
logging.Logger.__init__(self, name, logging.DEBUG)
color_formatter = ColoredFormatter(self.COLOR_FORMAT)
console = logging.StreamHandler()
console.setFormatter(color_formatter)
self.addHandler(console)
return
logging.setLoggerClass(ColoredLogger)
Just in case anyone else needs it.
Be careful if you're using more than one logger or handler: ColoredFormatter
is changing the record object, which is passed further to other handlers or propagated to other loggers. If you have configured file loggers etc. you probably don't want to have the colors in the log files. To avoid that, it's probably best to simply create a copy of record
with copy.copy()
before manipulating the levelname attribute, or to reset the levelname to the previous value, before returning the formatted string (credit to Michael in the comments).
If you mean to do aggregation you can use the aggregation features of the ORM:
from django.db.models import Count
result = (Members.objects
.values('designation')
.annotate(dcount=Count('designation'))
.order_by()
)
This results in a query similar to
SELECT designation, COUNT(designation) AS dcount
FROM members GROUP BY designation
and the output would be of the form
[{'designation': 'Salesman', 'dcount': 2},
{'designation': 'Manager', 'dcount': 2}]
If you don't include the order_by()
, you may get incorrect results if the default sorting is not what you expect.
If you want to include multiple fields in the results, just add them as arguments to values
, for example:
.values('designation', 'first_name', 'last_name')

If it's not working, you can't optimize it. First make it work.
At first glance, it seems that you have really mixed concepts about fields, relationships and equality/membership. First go thought the docs, and build your query piece by piece on the python shell (likely from the inside out).
Just a shot in the dark:
