printmoji

Description

A simple package to format text in the terminal with emojis rather than ANSI codes or HTML tags.

Installation

pip install printmoji

Usage

Coloring

Use the following emojis to color your text:

• 🟥 - Red
• 🟧 - Orange
• 🟨 - Yellow
• 🟩 - Green
• ⏹ - Cyan
• 🟦 - Blue
• 🟪 - Magenta
• ⬜ - White
• ⬛ - Black
• ❎ - Reset

I know what you're thinking: "How do I type emojis on the computer? This seems really inconvenient". Stop that.

Press Win+. on Windows or Ctrl+Cmd+Space on Mac to open the emoji keyboard. Type "square" and these emojis will show up.

from printmoji import print

print("🟦Hello 🟥world!")

Outputs:

Hello world!

Indentation

The print function returns a context manager that will indent all text printed within it.

from printmoji import print

with print("Parent"):
    print("Hello")
    print("World")

with print('Parent', indent='  | '):
    print('Pipes!')
    print('More pipes!')

print.indent()
print('Indented manually')
print.dedent()
print('Dedented manually')

Outputs:

Parent
    Hello
    World

Parent
  | Pipes!
  | More pipes!

    Indented manually
Dedented manually

There is an optional close argument that will print a character after the block is closed. This is useful for creating tree structures.

from printmoji import print

with print('Grandparent', close='---\n'):
    with print('Parent', close='+++\n'):
        print('Child')

Outputs:

Grandparent
    Parent
        Child
    +++
---
