Example Usage

import sys
from should_color import should_color, apply_ansi_style

should_color(sys.stdout)
should_color(sys.stderr)
should_color('stdout')  # same as should_color(sys.stdout)
should_color('stderr')  # same as should_color(sys.stdout)
print(
    apply_ansi_style(
        "ERROR:",
        color="red",
        bold=True,
        # implicitly checks should_color('stdout'),
        # both these options are the implicit defaults if unspecified
        enabled='auto',
        file='stdout',
    ),
    "Fatal problem",
)
