QuickColor is a Python library providing tags for color formatting sections of printable content. The tags can be flexibly used as part of any string as they simply resolve to the ASCII color codes interpreted by your terminal or terminal emulator.
Use the package manager pip to install quickcolor.
pip install quickcolorfrom quickcolor.color_def import color
# colorize printable content
print(f"{color.CGREEN2}This text is bold green{color.CEND}")from quickcolor.color_def import colors
# alternate method to colorize printable content
print(f"Formatting this phrase part to {colors.fg.yellow}display yellow{colors.off}")from quickcolor.color_filter import strip_ansi_esc_sequences_from_string
testString = f'{color.CYELLOW2}Yellow String!{color.CEND}'
print(testString)
print(f'No longer a {strip_ansi_esc_sequences_from_string(testString)}')from quickcolor.color_filter import strip_ansi_esc_sequences_from_input
testString = f'{color.CBLUE2}Blue String!{color.CEND}'
testBytes = testString.encode(encoding="utf-8")
print(testString)
print(testBytes)
print(f'No longer a {strip_ansi_esc_sequences_from_input(stringOrBytes = testBytes)}')The following CLI is included with this package for visualizing available color fields and code combinations.
