display colors in console

pycols

A Python module for colorating console content

Installation

Using pip

You can install pycols via pip using

in a commandline:

py -m pip install pycols

in a python script:

import os
os.system('py -m pip install pycols')

Usage

Colorating content

1. Create a pycols.color object:

   import pycols
   c = pycols.color()
   

   This will initialize all three style elements pycols can alter: Style, Foreground and Background.

2. Given that you want to make a text e.g. red for an error, you can change this:

   print("An error occured")
   

   easily to the following:

   code_red = c.col("RED")
   print(code_red + "An error occured")
   

   Here, the color.col search method is used.
   There is also a search methods for background colors (color.bcol).
   These two methods will automatically switch to searching for light colors with the color.lcol / color.lbcol methods, when they detect a "LIGHT_" part in your color description.

3. Reset the coloring with one of the following:

   print(c.col("RESET"))
   

   for resetting only the color of the foreground,

   print(c.bcol("RESET"))
   

   for resetting only the color of the background

   print(c.RESET)
   

   for resetting only the current styling or finally

   print(c.RESET_ALL)
   

   for resetting all of them.
