kulr

A simple Python color library using ANSI escape sequences to spruce up your Python scripts with ease

I'm just messing around and learning Python. While there are surely better options for color formatting, feel free to give this a try and leave any feedback you have!

License Notice

This library is licensed under MIT and is provided as-is with no guarantee of suitability for a particular purpose. Use at your own risk. A copy of the license should accompany this library so you can always know your rights and responsibilities.

How to use

This script, once imported to your project using import kulr or import kulr as custom_alias is pretty straight forward.

Colors
You can use the following colors in this library: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white.

Text Colors
By default , you will change the text color by using the above colors. There are also bright variants of each color - simply prefix it with b. For example, bright blue would be bblue.

Background colors
The colors can also be used for backgrounds. To do this just add _bg to the end. For example, a green background would be green_bg. You can combine this with the aforementioned b prefix for a brighter background color.

Additional formatting
Kulr comes with some additional non-color related options which can be combined with other options for a more customized look. Please note that some terminals may not support all options or display them in an expected way.
bold - Makes the text bold
dim - Dims the text
italic - Puts text in italics
under - Underlines text
blink - Makes the text blink
blink2 - Also makes blinking text (Unsure if this is different from the above option in some terminals)
reverse - Reverses the background and text color
conceal - Hides text but it can still be copied out and pasted

Usage
Please reference the example Python script for more details. After importing, to use a color in your script, you simply need to call the desired variable from the library. For example, kulr.cyan would call the variable to make your text cyan. When finished, it is best practice to reset your text with kulr.reset.
