The `coloredlogs` package enables colored terminal output for Python's logging_
module. The ColoredFormatter_ class inherits from `logging.Formatter`_ and uses
`ANSI escape sequences`_ to render your logging messages in color. It uses only
standard colors so it should work on any UNIX terminal. It's currently tested
on Python 2.7, 3.5+ and PyPy (2 and 3). On Windows `coloredlogs` automatically
tries to enable native ANSI support (on up-to-date Windows 10 installations)
and falls back on using colorama_ (if installed). Here is a screen shot of the
demo that is printed when the command ``coloredlogs --demo`` is executed:

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Adds colored output to Python's standard logging module using ANSI escape sequences, with automatic fallback support for Windows terminals.

Verdict: A stable, well-established logging formatter with no known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing, but abandoned maintenance since June 2021 means no fixes for future Python versions or emerging issues. Suitable for projects that can tolerate a frozen dependency; risky for long-term production use.
