Print text using color formatting

Project description

=======
tcprint
=======

This package provides the various tcprint_XXX routines which
can be used to print the text using color formatting.

Internally, ANSI color codes are used to format the text.

Typical usage often looks like this::

#!/usr/bin/env python

from tcprint import *

tcprint_red('Text in red')
tcprint_B_red('Text in bold red')

tcprint_red_on_green('Red text against a green background')
tcprint_B_red_on_green('Bold Red text against a green background')


tcprint_red_on_B_yellow('Red text against a bold yellow background')
tcprint_B_red_on_B_magenta('Bold red text against a bold magenta background')


Available Colors
================

* black
* red
* green
* yellow
* blue
* magenta
* cyan
* white

For Bold colors use B_ prefix as shown in the example

Thanks also to
==============

This package was inspired by termcolor package by Konstantin Lepa
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/termcolor/1.1.0

It's really a very useful package. I personally didn't want to specify the
colors towards the end of the line via arguments. Having just the text within
the double quotes [tcprint_red("text to be printed")] seems more readable for me.

Upcoming
========
Will add the other text attributes, like underline/blink, in the next release
