# couleur - ANSI terminal tool for python, colored shell and other handy fancy features
|
|
__Version 0.3__
|
|
|
|
__Couleur__ is a handy tool to play around with ANSI features in a
|
|
unix terminal
|
|
|
|
## installing
|
|
|
|
user@machine:~$ sudo pip install git+git://github.com/gabrielfalcao/couleur.git
|
|
|
|
## features
|
|
|
|
+ Single python file
|
|
+ 100% tested
|
|
+ comes with syntax sugar
|
|
|
|
## nutshell
|
|
|
|
### file-like objects filter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### further
|
|
|
|
>>> import sys, couleur
|
|
|
|
>>> couleur.proxy(sys.stdout).enable()
|
|
|
|
>>> print "#{bold}#{red}#{on:yellow}This is#{normal} a test"
|
|
u'\x1b[1;31;43mThis is\x1b[39m a test'
|
|
|
|
>>> couleur.proxy(sys.stdout).ignore()
|
|
|
|
>>> print "#{bold}#{red}#{on:yellow}This is#{normal} a test"
|
|
u'This is a test'
|
|
|
|
>>> couleur.proxy(sys.stdout).disable()
|
|
|
|
### dynamic methods
|
|
|
|
couleur has a syntax sugar that is semantically nice:
|
|
|
|
import couleur
|
|
sh = couleur.Shell(indent=4)
|
|
|
|
sh.bold_black_on_white('Nice highlight')
|
|
# prints '\033[47m\033[1m\033[30mNice highlight\033[0m'
|
|
|
|
sh.indent()
|
|
# will increase a internal indentation factor in couleur.Shell instance
|
|
|
|
sh.green('Just green')
|
|
# prints indented as well ' \033[32mJust Green\033[0m'
|
|
|
|
sh.dedent()
|
|
# will decrease that indentation factor (above)
|
|
|
|
# syntax sugar
|
|
sh.green_and_nornal_and_blue('this will be printed in green| and |this in blue')
|
|
# see: '\033[32mthis will be printed in green\033[0m and \033[34mthis in blue\033[0m'
|
|
|
|
couleur can overwrite output, so that you can make things like printing progress bars, show percentage and so on:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
|
|
|
|
import time
|
|
import couleur
|
|
|
|
shell = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True, bold=True)
|
|
|
|
for num in range(101):
|
|
if num == 0:
|
|
print
|
|
|
|
shell.yellow_and_red("Downloading file: |%d%%" % num, replace=True)
|
|
time.sleep(0.05)
|
|
|
|
shell.white_and_green("Downloading file: |DONE!", replace=True)
|
|
|
|
### furthermore
|
|
|
|
With couleur you can mix modifiers and colors.
|
|
|
|
Available modifiers:
|
|
|
|
+ reset - resets from the current point to the end
|
|
+ bold - make text bold
|
|
+ blink - it may blink the text or make it slighly lighten, depending on the terminal
|
|
+ italic - make text italic
|
|
+ underline - add underline on text
|
|
+ inverse - invert colors
|
|
+ strikethrough - draws a line through the text
|
|
+ up - does the same than passing replace=True to the output function: carriage return and one line up
|
|
|
|
Available colors:
|
|
|
|
+ normal
|
|
+ black
|
|
+ red
|
|
+ green
|
|
+ yellow
|
|
+ blue
|
|
+ magenta
|
|
+ cyan
|
|
+ white
|
|
|
|
Example chaining modifiers:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
|
|
|
|
import couleur
|
|
|
|
shell = couleur.Shell(linebreak=True)
|
|
shell.bold_italic_underline_yellow_on_black_and_italic_black_on_white("WOO| HOO")
|
|
