How can I get Django to print the debug information to the console?

Question

I\'m using urlib to hit my app not a browser so I can\'t see the debug screen when an error occurs. What\'s the best way to send the normal debug info to the console or a fi

If you're running the development server locally, you can just use print.

Also, you can use the logging module and redirect output to stdout. In settings.py put something like:

import logging.config

logging.config.fileConfig('/path/to/logging.conf')

Then make a logging.conf file:

[loggers]
keys=root

[handlers]
keys=consoleHandler

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler

[handler_consoleHandler]
class=StreamHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=(sys.stdout,)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s

Check out the python documentation for more details and more examples.
