PyColor is easy to use, simply import the module and create a PyColor object to use the print() method.
import PyColor
String = "^REDThis text is red and could be used to show a ^YELcritical ^BREDerror"
# Colored Log
ColorfulLog = PyColor()
ColorfulLog.print(String)
# Standard Log (Color Markdown will be stripped before printing)
StdLog = PyColor(color=False)
StdLog.print(String)PyColor is cross-platform and will determine the correct coloring method automatically.
Windows 10 Anniversary edition added support for Virtual Terminal Sequences (VT100) allowing the use of ANSI escape characters.
Earlier editions of Windows do not support ANSI / VT100 natively. Instead, api calls are made to windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTextAttribute with a stdout flush to support multi-colored lines.
Platforms such as Linux support ANSI escape characters natively.
