Playing with ANSI colors and python with Couleur
Last night I’ve just released the first version of Couleur, which is (or at least try to be) a simple and awesome tool for using ANSI colors with python.
Couleur indeed turns very easy to handle shell colors in python.
In action
import time
import couleur
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
for mood in ["bad", "awful", "normal", "nice", "awesome"]:
sh.red_on_black(mood, replace=True)
time.sleep(1)
import couleur
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
for mood in ["bad", "awful", "normal", "nice", "awesome"]:
sh.red_on_black(mood, replace=True)
time.sleep(1)
Couleur creates colored output dinamically, so that you can mix colors and modifiers at will:
import couleur
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
sh.bold_black_and_bold_yellow_on_red("Gray | Yellow")
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
sh.bold_black_and_bold_yellow_on_red("Gray | Yellow")
And even use “static” output, let’s simulate the output of a “git clone”:
import time
import couleur
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
for x in range(101):
if x is 0:
print
sh.normal_and_bold_green(
"Counting objects: |%d%%" % x,
replace=True
)
time.sleep(0.08)
import couleur
sh = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
for x in range(101):
if x is 0:
sh.normal_and_bold_green(
"Counting objects: |%d%%" % x,
replace=True
)
time.sleep(0.08)
Installation
user@machine:~$ sudo pip install couleur
