I like to see Apache-style console logs when I'm developing web apps. The http server provided by Paste in recent times lost its transaction logging code for perormance reasons. That code is now in a separate module and is called the "translogger".
To turn on console logging of http requests to a Pylons app, edit your app's development.ini file and add this section below the [DEFAULT] section, replacing yourapp with a name representing your application:
[pipeline:main] pipeline = logger yourapp [filter:logger] use = egg:Paste#translogger setup_console_handler = true
Then, change the [app:main] heading to say [app:yourapp] instead; otherwise the app will conflict with the pipeline that is already named "main".
