RichConsole.py

This is a tool to output "poor" (because it is limited by standardized control codes) rich text into console.

You create a tree structure where each piece of string has its own stylesheet. After you have finished forming the output message you convert it into a string. The library does the rest.

How does it work?

The algorithm is damn simple: it just traverses the tree in depth-first way, determines exact style of each string, computes differences between them and emits control codes to apply them.

Requirements

• Python 3. Python 2 is dead, stop raping its corpse. Use 2to3 with manual postprocessing to migrate incompatible code to 3. It shouldn't take so much time. For unit-testing you need Python 3.6+ or PyPy3 because their dict is ordered.

Optional requirements

This library automatically imports colors and other control codes from the following libraries:

• colorama

• plumbum.colorlib

• colored
