Django development console custom/debug messages

Is there a way to print messages to开发者_运维问答 Django development console?

I'm running 1.1 Django in buildout environment.

So running bin/django runserver (manage.py runserver) it shows development console where it writes resources, actions taken (equivalent of apache access/error logs(?)).

I want to print custom messages to that console for debugging purposes that it wouldn't kill the action just notice me.

Should i use logging module or is there other way?

If you're sure you just want it in development, you can simply use print - the message appears in the console.

However, you will need to delete the print statement before you deploy to production, as this will cause an error with Apache.

A better long-term solution is to use the logging module, configured to output to the console.
