consolor.print_line('green bg', bgcolor=consolor.BgColor.Green)
consolor.update_line('0%')
consolor.update_line('100%')

You can also use it in builtin print():

print(consolor.Color.Red, 'Red')

print('Not Red')

print(consolor.BgColor.Red, 'Red')
print('Red two', consolor.BgColor.Reset)
print('None')
