Change colors of output log text from Django development server

Question

When running the django test server on a local project, can you make 400/500 errors stand out in a different color in output text?

I have colored output on OSX by default :/ What OS are you using? — Timmy O'Mahony, Jan 27 '12 at 01:01

The colors can be controlled using the DJANGO_COLORS environment variable. See the docs on syntax coloring.

This requires a platform which supports colors.

Where exactly do you put those export commands? In settings.py? – MikeN Jan 27 '12 at 01:14
They would go in your .bashrc file or in the virtualenv postactivate script if you wanted to configure the colors on a project by project basis. – Mark Lavin Jan 27 '12 at 01:18
