Installation and Usage
----------------------

Two options: to install it in your system/project::

pip install colorize

And you can use it with::

python -m colorize -h


Or just `download the lastest zip`_ and use it with::

python colorize-X.Y.Z.zip -h


Now, you have two ways to use it:

Rendering the output
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just execute::

$ command to execute | python -m colorize

If you need to render both the stdout and the stderr::

$ command to execute |& python -m colorize

This method works well with too long outputs

As runner
~~~~~~~~~

Other way to use it:

$ python -m colorize command to execute

This method can do disgusting things with too long outputs.


Configuration File
------------------

It will find a configuration file in the current directory, in the home directory or in the default path directory. The first one found will be used. So, it will search for:

- ``./.colorize.conf``
- ``$HOME/.configuration/colorize/colorize.conf``
- ``/etc/colorize/colorize.conf``

The format for this file is very easy: it is a CSV file with next fields::

# regular expression to highlight (quoted) , bold output , foreground color , background color
"^=+$" , 1 , white ,
"^=+$" , true , white , black
"^=+$" , 0 , red , white
"^=+$" , false , brown , magenta

Available colors:

- :code:`black`
- :code:`white`
- :code:`red`
- :code:`green`
- :code:`blue`
- :code:`brown`
- :code:`gray`
- :code:`magenta`
- :code:`cyan`

And that's all.

Example to simulate colordiff
-----------------------------

To emulate colordiff, just use this configuration file::

"^>.*", 0, blue
"^<.*", 0, red
"^\d+,?\d*c\d+,?\d*$", 0, magenta

That's enough :D
