PyANSI 1.0.4

Easy ANSI control

PyANSI

PyANSI provides an easy way to use ANSI escape codes to control the colour and cursor of a terminal.

System Requirements

PyANSI is primarily intended for Unix-like operating systems but will run on any operating system which supports ANSI escape codes.

Note: Windows users may need to enable support for ANSI escape codes if using Command Prompt or PowerShell. To do this, open registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\ Create a DWORD entry called VirtualTerminalLevel with a value of 1. Windows users may also need to 'initialise' the terminal for ANSI support using

import subprocess
subprocess.call("", shell=True)

Examples

Colour

True colour

from PyANSI import colours
colours.printHex("Hello, World!", foreHex="#00AEFF", backHex="#FF5500")

ANSI 256 colour mode

from PyANSI import colours
colours.print256("Hello, World!", foreColour=32, backColour=172)

Cursor Control

Show/hide the cursor

from PyANSI import cursor
cursor.hide()
cursor.show()

Move the cursor

from PyANSI import cursor
cursor.move.left(10)
cursor.move.right(10)
cursor.move.up(10)
cursor.move.right(10)

Jump to home

from PyANSI import cursor
cursor.home()
