Functions

awesome_print

awesome_print(txt:str, *features: tuple, should_cut_str_in_chars: boll = True, should_play_sound: bool = False, should_add_backspace_at_end: bool = True, print_delay: float = None, print_delay_min: float = None, print_delay_max: float = None)

Print text to the console with optional typing effects, sounds, styling, and custom delays — just like a cinematic terminal scene.

import prime_printer as prime

prime.awesome_print("Loading complete!", prime.BOLD, prime.GREEN, should_play_sound=True, print_delay_min=0.05, print_delay_max=0.1)

---> Parameters <---

Name	Type	Default	Description
txt	str	required	The text to print.
*features	str	()	Optional text styling (e.g., "BOLD", "RED", "ITALIC").
should_cut_str_in_chars	bool	True	Decides to cut the input text in parts to process, or not.
should_play_sound	bool	False	Whether to play a typing sound per character.
should_add_backspace_at_end	bool	True	Whether to add a backspace/newline at the end of the printed text.
print_delay	float	None	Fixed delay between each character. If None, uses random delay range.
print_delay_min	float	None	Minimum random delay (used only if print_delay is None).
print_delay_max	float	None	Maximum random delay (used only if print_delay is None).

---> Sounds <---

Typing sounds play only if should_play_sound=True and the delay isn't too short (e.g. > 0.1s). A final sound plays at the end for fast modes.

---

add_special_effect

add_special_effect(txt: str, *features: str) -> str

Applies special styling effects (like color or emphasis) to a given string using terminal control codes or tags.

import prime_printer as prime

styled = prime.add_special_effect("Warning!", prime.RED, prime.BOLD)
print(styled)

---> Parameters <---

Name	Type	Description
txt	str	The original text to which you want to apply styles.
*features	str	One or more style codes (e.g. "BOLD", "RED", "ITALIC").

---> Behavior <---

• If a single tuple of styles is passed (e.g. (prime.BOLD, prime.GREEN)), it's automatically unpacked.
• Styles are applied in order, wrapping the entire string each time.
• Automatically resets the styling at the end using END.

---

img_to_str

img_to_str(img_path: str, width: int = 60, is_256color: bool = False, is_truecolor: bool = True, is_unicode: bool = True) -> str

Converts an image into a stylized text-based string for beautiful console prints using ANSI color codes and optional Unicode blocks.

import prime_printer as prime

print(prime.img_to_str("./logo.png", width=80, is_256color=True))

---> Parameters <---

Name	Type	Default	Description
img_path	str	required	Path to the image file to load.
width	int	60	Target width of the output in characters.
is_256color	bool	False	Whether to use 256-color ANSI mode (for better compatibility).
is_truecolor	bool	True	Enables truecolor (24-bit) output if the terminal supports it.
is_unicode	bool	True	Uses Unicode blocks for improved resolution and clarity.

---> Returns <---

• str: The converted image as a string that can be directly printed in the terminal.

You can use print_image if you want to print your image directly.

---

print_image

print_image(img_path: str, width: int = 60, is_256color: bool = False, is_truecolor: bool = True, is_unicode: bool = True) -> None

Prints an image directly to the terminal using colored text blocks — a quick and stylish way to preview images in your console.

import prime_printer as prime

prime.print_image("logo.png", width=80)

---> Parameters <---

Name	Type	Default	Description
img_path	str	required	Path to the image file to be rendered.
width	int	60	Desired width of the image in character columns.

is_truecolor	bool	True	Enables truecolor (24-bit color) output if supported.
is_unicode	bool	True	Enables Unicode rendering for higher pixel fidelity.

Internally uses img_to_str() to convert and print.

Displays a customizable progress bar in the console, ideal for visual feedback in loops, tasks, or animations.

import prime_printer as prime

for i in range(101):

clear

clear() -> None

Clears the entire console screen and resets the cursor position to the top-left corner. Useful for animations, live updates, or a clean UI.

import prime_printer as prime

prime.clear()

---> Parameters <---

None

---> Behavior <---

• Uses ANSI escape sequences to clear the screen (CLEAR_SCREEN(2)) and reset cursor (SET_POSITION(0, 0)).
• Prints the escape string directly to apply the effect.

get_input

get_input(message='User: ', end_chars=['\n', '\r'], back_chars=['\u0008', '\b'], should_play_sound=False, *features) -> str

Custom interactive input function with support for live console feedback, styled text, backspace handling, conditions and optional typing sounds.

import prime_printer as prime

name = prime.get_input("Enter your name: ", should_play_sound=True, RED, BOLD)

A bit more advanced are conditions, if the user-input have to pass a given format. Here 2 examples:

import prime_printer as prime

is_int = lambda x: True if all([x in ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'] for char in x]) else False
name = prime.get_input("Enter a number: ", condition=is_int)

import prime_printer as prime

name = prime.get_input("Do you accept (y/n): ", condition=lambda x: True if x.lower() in ['y', 'n'] else False)

---> Parameters <---

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
message	str	'User: '	Prompt message shown to the user.
get_input	bool	True	Lower user input during the return.
end_chars	List[str]	['\n', '\r']	Characters that indicate input completion.
back_chars	List[str]	['\u0008', '\b']	Characters that represent backspace (deletes last input).
should_play_sound	bool	False	Whether to play typing sounds during input.
condition	Call(x)	lambda x: True	A condition function that the input must pass, else it will ask again.
*features	str (variadic)	None	Optional style features for the input (e.g., BOLD, RED).

Let me know if you need further adjustments or more information!

get_char

get_char

This function allows you to capture a single character of user input from the console, based on the platform.

---> Parameters <---

• No parameters are required for this function.

---> Description <---

• On Linux, it uses termios and tty to configure raw input, reading a single character directly from the console without waiting for the Enter key.
• On Windows, it uses msvcrt.getch() to capture the character input.

---> Returns <---

• A single character (str) representing the current key pressed by the user.

path = "sounds/typing_sound.wav"
prime.play_sound(path)

In this example, the function will load and play the typing_sound.wav file located in the sounds directory.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
path_to_sound_file	str	The file path to the sound file to be played. It should be a valid path to a .wav file.
