How do I use Logging in the Django Debug Toolbar?

Question

I would like to output debug messages in my django app at different points in a view function. The docs for the django-debug-toolbar say it uses the build in python logging but I can't find any more information then that. I don't really want to log to a file but to the info pane on the toolbar. How does this work?

You just use the logging module methods and DjDT will intercept and display them in the Logging Panel.

import logging

logging.debug('Debug Message')

if some_error:
   logging.error('Error Message')
