Yet another ANSI color text library for Python. Provides "auto colors" for dark/light terminals. Works on Linux, OS X,
and Windows. For Windows support you just need to call Windows.enable() in your application.
On Linux/OS X autocolors are toggled by calling set_light_background() and set_dark_background(). On Windows this
can be done automatically if you call Windows.enable(auto_colors=True).
In Python2.x this library subclasses unicode, while on Python3.x it subclasses str.
- Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Linux, OS X, and Cygwin.
- Python 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Windows (both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python).
Tested on Windows XP and Windows 10 technical preview.

Install:
pip install colorclassSource code for the example code is: example.py
Different colors are chosen using curly-bracket tags, such as {red}{/red}. For a list of available colors, call
colorclass.list_tags().
The available "auto colors" tags are:
- autoblack
- autored
- autogreen
- autoyellow
- autoblue
- automagenta
- autocyan
- autowhite
- autobgblack
- autobgred
- autobggreen
- autobgyellow
- autobgblue
- autobgmagenta
- autobgcyan
- autobgwhite
Methods of Class instances try to return sane data, such as:
from colorclass import Color
color_string = Color('{red}Test{/red}')
color_string
u'\x1b[31mTest\x1b[39m'
len(color_string)
4
color_string.istitle()
TrueThere are also a couple of helper attributes for all Color instances:
color_string.value_colors
'\x1b[31mTest\x1b[39m'
color_string.value_no_colors
'Test'- Fixed Python 2.7 64-bit original colors bug on Windows.
- Fixed resetting colors when
reset_atexitis True. - Improved sorting of
list_tags().
- Added native Windows support and automatic background colors.
- Added ability to disable/strip out all colors.
- Fixed splitlines() method.
- Initial release.
