Description

When running output = io.StringIO(); django.core.management.call_command('sql', 'myapp', output=output)
management command ignores that self.output is not a tty and writes colored output. However, color settings set in init check if sys.stdout is a tty.

Hi,

It seems there is some code to try and not use style functions when not running in a TTY [1] but it's not enough.

From a quick look, it seems that OutputWrapper.write also takes a style_func parameter and it will use it even when not in a TTY which is probably the source of the problem.

In that case, the output coloring is not done by OutputWrapper, but by the sql family of commands. A new --no-color option has been added now (#19877) and will be available in Django 1.7.

Replying to claudep:

In my case using --no-color works.
But I think this issue shouldn't be closed - it's strange that the command produces different output depending on sys.stdout, which isn't even used.

I closed it because the use case given in the description is already solved by #19877. If you can demonstrate a different valid use case which is problematic, then let's reopen the ticket.
