Colored text

[Alivegamer]

I've been looking on how to change your text in the command when you run python.

class Colors:
    RED = "\x1b[0;31;40"

def Starting():
    print(Colors.RED + "Hello")
    time.sleep(100)

This is my code that I thought would work to change my text red but it shows this.

←[0;31;40Hello

What am I doing wrong?

Where did you get that code? I am used to seeing ansii color codes that look like this: \033[1;32m, \e[1;32m or \x1b[1;31m. I've never seen a code with two semicolons.

You can use the colorama module.

from colorama import Fore

print(Fore.RED + "This is red", Fore.GREEN + "This is green")

This is a bit easier to read than obscure escape sequences.

You might take a look at the rich module. It handles a lot of the work for doing color effects.

>>> from rich.console import Console
>>> console = Console()
>>> console.print("Hello", style="red")
Hello

This is what I use.
