Minimal python utility for styling your terminal output. The idea here is to use a wrapper to add styling options for print function. Let me explain...
pip install crayon
To test your terminal output just launch the crayon module
Define your preferred style as a dictionary
from crayon import *
my_style = dict(prefix='* ', # prefix
color= dict(fg=rgb(5, 3, 1), bg=BLUE),
style= dict(bold=True),
indent=4,
# you can also set 'print' function kwargs
sep=' *\n',
end=' *\n***\n')Call function printout the same way as print. If you used print function keywords, they get passed to it as usual. Example:
printout(False, "Hello", 4, **my_style)The default 16 terminal colors are set as constants for easy access.
# System color name constants.
COLORS = (
BLACK,
RED,
GREEN,
YELLOW,
BLUE,
MAGENTA,
CYAN,
LIGHT_GRAY,
DARK_GRAY,
BRIGHT_RED,
BRIGHT_GREEN,
BRIGHT_YELLOW,
BRIGHT_BLUE,
BRIGHT_MAGENTA,
BRIGHT_CYAN,
WHITE,
) = range(16)The grayscale supports 24 values.
my_grayscale_color = gray(10) # (0 - 23)The rest is set by rgb function.
my_rgb_color = rgb(5, 3, 1) # (0 - 5) scale to accomodate 216 colorsThat's all 256 colors supported by most modern terminals.
color_config = {'fg':my_grayscale_color, 'bg':my_rgb_color}
printout(my_text, color=color_config)Set up a style config the same way as color config, this one is simple.
style_config = {'bold':True, 'underline':True} # True/False for each, False by defaultCombine these configs into one complete style configuration. Feel free to add print function keyword arguments as well.
config = {'color':color_config, 'style':style_config, 'end':'\n***\n'}
# color and style config gets applied for every thing in things
# 'print' function kwargs work as usual
printout(*things, **config)- conditional styling? (v1.0)
- fix some name conflicts
- proper project description and documentation
