Styling text in a terminal is a pain and weirdly, there are no libraries that are both simple to use and multi-task for this. So I made a very simple lightweight Python library for styling terminal text with colors, backgrounds, and text effects. No complex features, no hassle.

**install using pip:** `pip install -U terminal-style`

## Using terminal-style : 3 tools that will make your life easier


- **`sprint`** acts like `print` but allows you to style the text :
```python
sprint("Hello, world!", color="red", bold=True)
```

<br/><br/>

- **`style`** is a function that returns a styled string formatted terminal use. Can be used in regular print statements :
```python
print(
  style("Hello", color="red", bold=True),
  style("old", color="blue", italic=True),
  style("friend", color="green", underline=True),
  style("!", color="yellow", bold=True),
)
```

<br/><br/>


- **`spinner`** is a function that will show a spinner in the terminal : the spinner will stop automatically when a next line is printed in the terminal. It runs in parallel, so don't worry about blocking the main thread.
```python
spinner("Processing...", color="cyan", bold=True, type="dots")
```
