Suggestion to change the Logger date format to ISO 8601

[Leon Albrecht]

At the moment Django is using "DD/MMM/YYYY hh:mm:ss", but since 1988 there exists an ISO to format dates like this: "YYY-DD-MM hh:mm:ss"

this is not a majot change and i've searched for to do it myself but according to the python logger libary this format is already in use, but Django apperantly changes it, somewhere I could not find it, to the beforementioned format.

Hi

I think the change you're referring to is in runserver: https://github.com/django/django/blob/ff00a053478fee06bdfb4206c6d4e079e98640ff/django/core/servers/basehttp.py#L132 . Django uses a function from the standard library wsgiref simple server here to generate server_time which is then shown in the log format. Indeed it doesn't seem to allow configuring it at current.

I imagine there's a way to stop using the log_date_time_string() function there if you want, however I am not sure about changing the default. Many sites end up using runserver in production (despite it being insecure) and it's likely there are scripts out there to parse the logs as they are.

Thanks,

Adam
