strip ansi codes

from dcolor import strip

raw = color("hello", "#ff0000", "bold")
clean = strip(raw)  # "hello"

auto terminal detection

by default dcolor doesn't color output if it's piped or redirected:

python script.py > log.txt          # no colors
python script.py | cat              # no colors
python script.py                    # colors (in terminal)

force colors on:

print(color("text", "#ff0000", force=True))  # always colored
