Change shell print color in python 3.3.2

Question

Is there any way to change shell print color in python 3.3.2 in Linux and Windows shell? I\'ve read all other topics but none of them working with this version or I should i

Answer 1

Based on the description at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama ,

ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored terminal text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes this work on Windows, too, by wrapping stdout, stripping ANSI sequences it finds (which otherwise show up as gobbledygook in your output), and converting them into the appropriate win32 calls to modify the state of the terminal.

it sounds like it'd be a non-trivial amount of work to do it yourself.

That said, they also mention this:

An alternative approach is to install 'ansi.sys' on Windows machines, which provides the same behaviour for all applications running in terminals. Colorama is intended for situations where that isn't easy

These links may assist you if ansi.sys is an option:
