termstyle is a simple python library for adding coloured output to terminal (console) programs. The definitions come from ECMA-048, the "Control Functions for Coded Character Sets" standard.
from termstyle import *
print "%s:%s" % (red('Hey'), green('how are you?'))
print blue('How ', bold('you'), ' doin?')
or, you can use a colour just as a string:
print "%sBlue!%s" % (blue, reset)
reset or default (no colour / style)
colour:
black red green yellow blue magenta cyan white
background colour:
bg_black bg_red bg_green bg_yellow bg_blue bg_magenta bg_cyan bg_white bg_default
In terminals supporting transparency bg_default is often used to set
the background to transparent [1].
weight:
bold inverted
style:
italic underscore
auto() - sets colouring on only if sys.stdout is a terminal disabe() - disable colours enable() - enable colours
