Python Forum

Hello,

I tried to change the text color in my python program, and looked up a tutorial. When I typed in what they wrote, it just printed: '[2;31;43m Text Color Test'. Is there any way to fix this? If not, are there other ways to change text colors?

Please show your code, hard to say without seeing what to tried to do.

'\033[2;31;43m Text Color Test'

But you should use a library instead of embedding ascii codes.

I tried to use the colorama, but it just said the same as the ANSII.

Output:
some red text
and with a green background
and in dim text

back to normal now

What shell are you using? What os? What Python?

It want work because you use cmd,a better shell like cmder would work.

Shoul use Rich ✨ it's in a league of own when it come to color in Terminal for Python.
Rich also work in cmd.

from rich import print

print("[red]Python Forum[/red]")
print("[bold blue]Hello world[/bold blue]!")

d = {
    "bool1": True,
    "bool2": False,
    "number": 123.45,
    "string": "Hello!",
    "dict": {"key": "value"},
    "list": [1, 2, 3],
    "class": type(1),
}

print(d)

cmd:

I am using python 3.9 and the Windows PowerShell to install libraries. I don't know what OS.

I installed rich, and copy pasted your command, and it doesnt show the colors.

Output:
Python Forum
Hello world!
{
    'bool1': True,
    'bool2': False,
    'number': 123.45,
    'string': 'Hello!',
    'dict': {'key': 'value'},
    'list': [1, 2, 3],
    'class': <class 'int'>
}

OS means Operating System and you should know that you use Windows👀
Are running code in PowerShell?
You can not use a Editor as a color will only show using commanl line.

No this don't apply to Rich,it's has been testet on all OS and diffrent shell.
So Rich has overcome all ANSI problems within PowerShell and cmd.
If i do test that as i have not with PowerShell(as i use cmder),pretty sure that it will be working using Rich.
So if i do a test in PowerShell,colors🎨 work fine.
