How do I print colored output with Python 3

Question

I have a simple print statement   print  hello friends     I would like the output to be blue in the terminal  How can I accomplish this with Python3

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.

To use colour in the console see here and here   There are modules dedicated to this task such as colorama and curses

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

User · Answer

It is very simple with colorama  just do this    import colorama from colorama import Fore  Style print Fore BLUE    Hello World     And here is the running result in Python3 REPL     And call this to reset the color settings    print Style RESET ALL    To avoid printing an empty line write this   print f  Fore BLUE Hello World Style RESET ALL
