Hue
Hue provides a minimal and powerful interface to print colored text and labels in the terminal.
It doesn't have any external dependencies and works with Python 2 as well as Python 3.
Supported Stuff
Following styles are supported
Following colors are supported
Following labels are supported
Installation
You can install hue with pip as follows:
pip install huepy
or with easy_install:
easy_install huepy
Usage
First of all, import everything that Hue has to offer as follows:
from huepy import *
Printing colored text is as simple as doing
print red('This string is red')
Easy right? But what if you want to print italic text? You can simply do this
print italic('This string is in italic')
You can also combine styles and colors
print bold(red('This string is bold and red'))
And what is the use of those labels?
I have been using these labels in projects as a minimal output schema.
If some error occured in your program or something else bad happened you don't need to print the whole line in red. With hue, you can simply do this
print bad('An error occured.')
Take a look at the output of all the labels
List of all colors
white, grey, black, green, lightgreen, cyan, lightcyan, red, lightred,
blue, lightblue, purple, light purple, orange, yellow
List of all styles
bold, bg, under, strike, italic
List of all labels
info, que, run, bad, good
Note: Windows does not support ANSI escape sequences so the colors will not be print in command prompt.
Contribution
The only thing I think Hue needs is windows support which I can't add atm because I have no windows machine and made since people were asking for it so its a quick one. So if you can start a pull request for windows support that would be great. Additional colors and labels will be appreciated too.
