Colored text output in python 3 - groovydingo - Apr-06-2018
print("Hello world!")
or
Hello wor
ld!I am again turning to the community forum for help... I have been doing a project at my school in which I have to make a maths game. There is no limit as to how complex I need to get it, I just need to be able to understand it. I have been trying to add colour to the text output in my print statements. I have visited my school ICT department, but none of them knew how to code python... They despise it, ever since the school server was accessed. Anyway, I asked them to install a library called termcolor.
Here is what I tried to do without the correct library:
from termcolor import colored
print(colored("red", "red"))
print(colored("yellow", "yellow"))
print(colored("green", "green"))
print(colored("blue", "blue"))Basically almost anything to do with instaling something is a no go...Any help is much apreciated.
Kindregarde,
a random kid

You can do it yourself.
black = lambda text: '\033[0;30m' + text + '\033[0m'
red = lambda text: '\033[0;31m' + text + '\033[0m'
green = lambda text: '\033[0;32m' + text + '\033[0m'
yellow = lambda text: '\033[0;33m' + text + '\033[0m'
blue = lambda text: '\033[0;34m' + text + '\033[0m'
magenta = lambda text: '\033[0;35m' + text + '\033[0m'
cyan = lambda text: '\033[0;36m' + text + '\033[0m'
white = lambda text: '\033[0;37m' + text + '\033[0m'
# test
print('Eggs and spam')
print(red('Red eggs') + ' and spam')Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_codeI am not sure if this will work on Windows

If the admins don't want to install termcolor, you can perhaps install it for you alone by typing
python -m pip install --user termcolorin a terminal (or cmd window). You may need to use 'python3' instead of 'python' depending on your system.
You can even do it from python's console
>>> import subprocess as sp >>> import sys >>> sp.call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', '--user', 'termcolor'])
