Foregrounds

You can choose one of the 8 basic ANSI colors: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white. The names beginning with a lower-script design foreground colors.

For example

ANSIColors.printc('<reset>this is default. <red>this is red<yellow> and yellow in foreground now<reset>').

Backgrounds

You can choose one of the 8 basic ANSI colours: Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, Cyan, White. The names beginning with a upper-script design background colors.

For example

ANSIColors.printc('<Default>this is default. <Blue>this have a blue background<Black> and black in background now<reset>').

Other tags

The following tags are also available :

• italic, Italic : to turn on and off the italic mode (not always supported),

• b, B : to turn on and off the bold mode (not always supported),

• u, U : to turn on and off the underline mode (not always supported),

Macros

Some macros are also provided, like the tags <ERROR>, <INFO> or <WARNING>.

And also <warning> and <question>, which respectively gives a colored ! and ?.

Writing to a file

This is possible with the writec function. For example

import sys
ANSIColors.writec('<ERROR><u><red>The computer is going to explode!<reset>', fn=sys.stderr)
# sys.stderr.flush()
# this is useless : writec flush itself.

Others functions

This module provides also the xtitle function, to change the title of the terminal. It tries to use the command xtitle, and if not available, tries to use one ANSI Code to change the title.

This module provides a notify function to display a system notification (using notify-send on Debian-like, not working on Windows).

Script

ANSIColors.py is also a script. You can have his description (or use it) directly with

python -m ANSIColors --help
