I'd go for this https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorlog as recommended on 
a couple of answers on the stackoverflow thread you've referenced.

A slight aside, we're "Pythonistas", not "pythontics" or "Pythonics " :)

<take cover>
Should we subclass Pythonista into Pythonista2 and Pythonista3 so that 
people can show their preferred version?
