如何在 vscode 中为 output 添加颜色

Question

I want to have colored error messages in VScode.

I tried to install the Output Colorizer extension but it didn't work.

I also tried to change the sitecustomize.py file by using the coloredlogs and IPython libraries but it didn't work either way:

when I tried to use coloredlogs I got this error message:

Error in sitecustomize; set PYTHONVERBOSE for traceback:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coloredlogs'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\sitecustomize.py", line 1, in <module>
    import coloredlogs
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coloredlogs'

even though I tried the demo and it worked.

Answer 1

1. For the extension "Output Colorizer", it is for changing the color of the log file in "OUTPUT": " Syntax highlighting for log files ":

   

2. For using the module " coloredlogs ", we need to install this module in the currently selected python environment (lower left corner of VS Code).

   (install: pip install coloredlogs check: pip show coloredlogs )
