when django logger doesn’t log utf-8(not english)

Add encoding setting to logger handler

'handlers': {
        'file':{
            'encoding': 'utf-8',

And restart django

run django test on pycharm

If you get

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested settings, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

this error from line

from rest_framework.response import Response

Django logging

On local, Django is run by systemd and wsgi. So you can see the logs by journalctl on linux. But if it’s run by demon “gunicorn”, you need to specify log path.

So in server/settings/development.py

specify logging path like this.

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'formatters': {
        'standard': {
            'format': "[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(name)s:%(lineno)s] %(message)s",
            'datefmt': "%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S"
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'INFO',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'standard'
        },
    }
}

on manage.py

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "<server>.settings.development")

means you are using settings in development.py

run django on local

python manage.py runserver

access on http://localhost:8000/

and you can see the logs on terminal

Django add app

add app to settings/base.py INSTALLED_APPS

To import models in view.py

import models

dosen’t work

from .models import *
