I use the colors module  Clone the git repository  run the setup py and you re good   You can then print text with colors very easily like this   import colors print colors red  this is red    print colors green  this is green      This works on the command line  but might need further configuration for IDLE

Try this way  without import modules  just use colors code numbers  defined as constants   BLUE    34m  message    hello friends    def display colored text color  text       colored text   f  033  color  text  033 00m      return colored text   Example    gt  gt  gt  print display colored text BLUE  message   hello friends

Since Python is interpreted and run in C  it is possible to set colors without a module   You can define a class for colors like this   class color     PURPLE     033 1 35 48m     CYAN     033 1 36 48m     BOLD     033 1 37 48m     BLUE     033 1 34 48m     GREEN     033 1 32 48m     YELLOW     033 1 33 48m     RED     033 1 31 48m     BLACK     033 1 30 48m     UNDERLINE     033 4 37 48m     END     033 1 37 0m    When writing code  you can simply write   print color BLUE    hello friends    color END   Note that the color you choose will have to be capitalized like your class definition  and that these are color choices that I personally find satisfying   For a fuller array of color choices and  indeed  background choices as well  please see  https   gist github com RabaDabaDoba 145049536f815903c79944599c6f952a   This is code for C  but can easily be adapted to Python once you realize how the code is written   Take BLUE for example  since that is what you are wanting to display   BLUE    033 1 37 48m     033 tells Python to break and pay attention to the following formatting   1 informs the code to be bold    I prefer 1 to 0 because it pops more    34 is the actual color code   It chooses blue   48m is the background color   48m is the same shade as the console window  so it seems there is no background
