python-kolors
=============

Simple and lightweight shell color output function.

It also checks if terminal supports color before vomitting ANSI codes.

Usage
-----

.. code-block:: python

    from kolors import c

    print c('Some <red>Red</end> and <blue>blue</end> text')
    print c('<green bg>Some green background</end>')
    print c('Some <cyan bold bg>{}</end>').format('interpolation')


.. note:: The keyword in the closing tag isn't really relevant, but I like to use "</end>" everywhere for shortness and consistency.  Simple shell color output function.


Colors
------

* grey (alias: gray)
* red
* green
* yellow
* blue
* magenta (alias: purple)
* cyan
* white


Styles
------

* bold
* bg


Roadmap
-------

Not sure where this project will go, but suggestions and pull requests are welcome.

The features bellow were suggested, I'm seriously considering them for the next iterations.


Use curses
**********

.. code-block:: python

    import curses

    curses.setupterm()

    if curses.tigetstr('setf') is not None:
        # Red foreground, if supported.
        print (curses.tparm(curses.tigetstr('setf'), curses.COLOR_RED).decode('utf-8'))

>From man 5 terminfo:

    To  change  the  current  foreground  or background color on a Tek‐
    tronix-type terminal, use setaf (set  ANSI  foreground)  and  setab
    (set  ANSI background) or setf (set foreground) and setb (set back‐
    ground).  These take one parameter, the  color  number.   The  SVr4
    documentation  describes only setaf/setab; the XPG4 draft says that
    "If the terminal supports ANSI escape sequences to  set  background
    and  foreground,  they  should be coded as setaf and setab, respec‐
    tively.

Note: thanks u/awegge!


Cleaner, nestable syntax
************************

.. code-block:: xml

    <fg red>Red text<b>Red bold text <bg blue>Red bold tect on Blue background</bg>red bold again</b>Just red again </fg>


Wrapping around other libraries
