Installation

Using pip

pip install riceprint

Usage:

After you have installed the package, check that its working by running the module directly. This will show you all the vailable print colors:

cd /path/to/riceprint-package/src/riceprint/
python riceprint.py

Below is an example of how you can use the functions:

from riceprint import tprint, pprint, progressbar
import time

# Simple pprint, tprint demo
print('This is not using riceprint.')
pprint('This is using riceprint. (Same unless you add some spice)')
pprint('This is using riceprint with style.', 'c')
tprint('This message will be erased by the next line.', 'b')
tprint('This message overwrites the previous tprint and will also be overwritten.', 'r')
pprint('This message overwrites the previous tprint and is permanent.', 'g')

# Overwriting previous messages, like status changes.
message = 'This is an example of something you can do with tprint().'
elements = message.split(' ')
some_colors = ['r', 'g', 'b', 'c', 'm', 'y', 'k', 'w', 'dr', 'dk', 'dc']
for i in range(len(elements)):
   msg = ''
   for y in range(i + 1):
      msg += elements[y] + ' '

   color = some_colors[i]

   tprint(msg, color)
   time.sleep(0.25)

# Progress bar example
for x in range(100 + 1):
   progressbar(x, 100, color='dg', char='\u2587', lend='|', rend='|')
   time.sleep(0.01)

# Adding keep=True here will leave the completed progressbar in the console
progressbar(x, 100, color='dg', char='\u2587', lend='|', rend='|', keep=True)

pprint('Done! I hope you use this package!', 'dm')
