Installation
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tested on CPython 2.7, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 and Pypy 2.7 and 3.8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
No requirements other than the standard library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
pip install colorama
|
|
|
# or
|
|
|
conda install -c anaconda colorama
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored terminal
|
|
|
text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes this work on
|
|
|
Windows, too, by wrapping ``stdout``, stripping ANSI sequences it finds (which
|
|
|
would appear as gobbledygook in the output), and converting them into the
|
|
|
appropriate win32 calls to modify the state of the terminal. On other platforms,
|
|
|
Colorama does nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This has the upshot of providing a simple cross-platform API for printing
|
|
|
colored terminal text from Python, and has the happy side-effect that existing
|
|
|
applications or libraries which use ANSI sequences to produce colored output on
|
|
|
Linux or Macs can now also work on Windows, simply by calling
|
|
|
``colorama.just_fix_windows_console()`` (since v0.4.6) or ``colorama.init()``
|
|
|
(all versions, but may have other side-effects – see below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
An alternative approach is to install ``ansi.sys`` on Windows machines, which
|
|
|
provides the same behaviour for all applications running in terminals. Colorama
|
|
|
is intended for situations where that isn't easy (e.g., maybe your app doesn't
|
|
|
have an installer.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Demo scripts in the source code repository print some colored text using
|
|
|
ANSI sequences. Compare their output under Gnome-terminal's built in ANSI
|
|
|
handling, versus on Windows Command-Prompt using Colorama:

These screenshots show that, on Windows, Colorama does not support ANSI 'dim
|
|
|
text'; it looks the same as 'normal text'.

|
Usage
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initialisation
|
|
|
..............
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the only thing you want from Colorama is to get ANSI escapes to work on
|
|
|
Windows, then run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
from colorama import just_fix_windows_console
|
|
|
just_fix_windows_console()
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're on a recent version of Windows 10 or better, and your stdout/stderr
|
|
|
are pointing to a Windows console, then this will flip the magic configuration
|
|
|
switch to enable Windows' built-in ANSI support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're on an older version of Windows, and your stdout/stderr are pointing to
|
|
|
a Windows console, then this will wrap ``sys.stdout`` and/or ``sys.stderr`` in a
|
|
|
magic file object that intercepts ANSI escape sequences and issues the
|
|
|
appropriate Win32 calls to emulate them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In all other circumstances, it does nothing whatsoever. Basically the idea is
|
|
|
that this makes Windows act like Unix with respect to ANSI escape handling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's safe to call this function multiple times. It's safe to call this function
|
|
|
on non-Windows platforms, but it won't do anything. It's safe to call this
|
|
|
function when one or both of your stdout/stderr are redirected to a file – it
|
|
|
won't do anything to those streams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the older interface with more features (but also more
|
|
|
potential footguns):
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
from colorama import init
|
|
|
init()
|
|
|
|
|
|
This does the same thing as ``just_fix_windows_console``, except for the
|
|
|
following differences:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It's not safe to call ``init`` multiple times; you can end up with multiple
|
|
|
layers of wrapping and broken ANSI support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Colorama will apply a heuristic to guess whether stdout/stderr support ANSI,
|
|
|
and if it thinks they don't, then it will wrap ``sys.stdout`` and
|
|
|
``sys.stderr`` in a magic file object that strips out ANSI escape sequences
|
|
|
before printing them. This happens on all platforms, and can be convenient if
|
|
|
you want to write your code to emit ANSI escape sequences unconditionally, and
|
|
|
let Colorama decide whether they should actually be output. But note that
|
|
|
Colorama's heuristic is not particularly clever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``init`` also accepts explicit keyword args to enable/disable various
|
|
|
functionality – see below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To stop using Colorama before your program exits, simply call ``deinit()``.
|
|
|
This will restore ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` to their original values, so that
|
|
|
Colorama is disabled. To resume using Colorama again, call ``reinit()``; it is
|
|
|
cheaper than calling ``init()`` again (but does the same thing).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most users should depend on ``colorama >= 0.4.6``, and use
|
|
|
``just_fix_windows_console``. The old ``init`` interface will be supported
|
|
|
indefinitely for backwards compatibility, but we don't plan to fix any issues
|
|
|
with it, also for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Colored Output
|
|
|
..............
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-platform printing of colored text can then be done using Colorama's
|
|
|
constant shorthand for ANSI escape sequences. These are deliberately
|
|
|
rudimentary, see below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
from colorama import Fore, Back, Style
|
|
|
print(Fore.RED + 'some red text')
|
|
|
print(Back.GREEN + 'and with a green background')
|
|
|
print(Style.DIM + 'and in dim text')
|
|
|
print(Style.RESET_ALL)
|
|
|
print('back to normal now')
|
|
|
|
|
|
...or simply by manually printing ANSI sequences from your own code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
print('\033[31m' + 'some red text')
|
|
|
print('\033[39m') # and reset to default color
|
|
|
|
|
|
...or, Colorama can be used in conjunction with existing ANSI libraries
|
|
|
such as the venerable `Termcolor <https://pypi.org/project/termcolor/>`_
|
|
|
the fabulous `Blessings <https://pypi.org/project/blessings/>`_,
|
|
|
or the incredible `_Rich <https://pypi.org/project/rich/>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish Colorama's Fore, Back and Style constants were more capable,
|
|
|
then consider using one of the above highly capable libraries to generate
|
|
|
colors, etc, and use Colorama just for its primary purpose: to convert
|
|
|
those ANSI sequences to also work on Windows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIMILARLY, do not send PRs adding the generation of new ANSI types to Colorama.
|
|
|
We are only interested in converting ANSI codes to win32 API calls, not
|
|
|
shortcuts like the above to generate ANSI characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
from colorama import just_fix_windows_console
|
|
|
from termcolor import colored
|
|
|
|
|
|
# use Colorama to make Termcolor work on Windows too
|
|
|
just_fix_windows_console()
|
|
|
|
|
|
# then use Termcolor for all colored text output
|
|
|
print(colored('Hello, World!', 'green', 'on_red'))
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available formatting constants are::
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fore: BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, CYAN, WHITE, RESET.
|
|
|
Back: BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, CYAN, WHITE, RESET.
|
|
|
Style: DIM, NORMAL, BRIGHT, RESET_ALL
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Style.RESET_ALL`` resets foreground, background, and brightness. Colorama will
|
|
|
perform this reset automatically on program exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are fairly well supported, but not part of the standard::
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fore: LIGHTBLACK_EX, LIGHTRED_EX, LIGHTGREEN_EX, LIGHTYELLOW_EX, LIGHTBLUE_EX, LIGHTMAGENTA_EX, LIGHTCYAN_EX, LIGHTWHITE_EX
|
|
|
Back: LIGHTBLACK_EX, LIGHTRED_EX, LIGHTGREEN_EX, LIGHTYELLOW_EX, LIGHTBLUE_EX, LIGHTMAGENTA_EX, LIGHTCYAN_EX, LIGHTWHITE_EX
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cursor Positioning
|
|
|
..................
|
|
|
|
|
|
ANSI codes to reposition the cursor are supported. See ``demos/demo06.py`` for
|
|
|
an example of how to generate them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Init Keyword Args
|
|
|
.................
|
|
|
|
|
|
``init()`` accepts some ``**kwargs`` to override default behaviour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
init(autoreset=False):
|
|
|
If you find yourself repeatedly sending reset sequences to turn off color
|
|
|
changes at the end of every print, then ``init(autoreset=True)`` will
|
|
|
automate that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
from colorama import init
|
|
|
init(autoreset=True)
|
|
|
print(Fore.RED + 'some red text')
|
|
|
print('automatically back to default color again')
|
|
|
|
|
|
init(strip=None):
|
|
|
Pass ``True`` or ``False`` to override whether ANSI codes should be
|
|
|
stripped from the output. The default behaviour is to strip if on Windows
|
|
|
or if output is redirected (not a tty).
|
|
|
|
|
|
init(convert=None):
|
|
|
Pass ``True`` or ``False`` to override whether to convert ANSI codes in the
|
|
|
output into win32 calls. The default behaviour is to convert if on Windows
|
|
|
and output is to a tty (terminal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
init(wrap=True):
|
|
|
On Windows, Colorama works by replacing ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr``
|
|
|
with proxy objects, which override the ``.write()`` method to do their work.
|
|
|
If this wrapping causes you problems, then this can be disabled by passing
|
|
|
``init(wrap=False)``. The default behaviour is to wrap if ``autoreset`` or
|
|
|
``strip`` or ``convert`` are True.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When wrapping is disabled, colored printing on non-Windows platforms will
|
|
|
continue to work as normal. To do cross-platform colored output, you can
|
|
|
use Colorama's ``AnsiToWin32`` proxy directly:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
import sys
|
|
|
from colorama import init, AnsiToWin32
|
|
|
init(wrap=False)
|
|
|
stream = AnsiToWin32(sys.stderr).stream
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Python 2
|
|
|
print >>stream, Fore.BLUE + 'blue text on stderr'
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Python 3
|
|
|
print(Fore.BLUE + 'blue text on stderr', file=stream)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recognised ANSI Sequences
|
|
|
.........................
|
|
|
|
|
|
ANSI sequences generally take the form::
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC [ <param> ; <param> ... <command>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where ``<param>`` is an integer, and ``<command>`` is a single letter. Zero or
|
|
|
more params are passed to a ``<command>``. If no params are passed, it is
|
|
|
generally synonymous with passing a single zero. No spaces exist in the
|
|
|
sequence; they have been inserted here simply to read more easily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The only ANSI sequences that Colorama converts into win32 calls are::
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC [ 0 m # reset all (colors and brightness)
|
|
|
ESC [ 1 m # bright
|
|
|
ESC [ 2 m # dim (looks same as normal brightness)
|
|
|
ESC [ 22 m # normal brightness
|
|
|
|
|
|
# FOREGROUND:
|
|
|
ESC [ 30 m # black
|
|
|
ESC [ 31 m # red
|
|
|
ESC [ 32 m # green
|
|
|
ESC [ 33 m # yellow
|
|
|
ESC [ 34 m # blue
|
|
|
ESC [ 35 m # magenta
|
|
|
ESC [ 36 m # cyan
|
|
|
ESC [ 37 m # white
|
|
|
ESC [ 39 m # reset
|
|
|
|
|
|
# BACKGROUND
|
|
|
ESC [ 40 m # black
|
|
|
ESC [ 41 m # red
|
|
|
ESC [ 42 m # green
|
|
|
ESC [ 43 m # yellow
|
|
|
ESC [ 44 m # blue
|
|
|
ESC [ 45 m # magenta
|
|
|
ESC [ 46 m # cyan
|
|
|
ESC [ 47 m # white
|
|
|
ESC [ 49 m # reset
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cursor positioning
|
|
|
ESC [ y;x H # position cursor at x across, y down
|
|
|
ESC [ y;x f # position cursor at x across, y down
|
|
|
ESC [ n A # move cursor n lines up
|
|
|
ESC [ n B # move cursor n lines down
|
|
|
ESC [ n C # move cursor n characters forward
|
|
|
ESC [ n D # move cursor n characters backward
|
|
|
|
|
|
# clear the screen
|
|
|
ESC [ mode J # clear the screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
# clear the line
|
|
|
ESC [ mode K # clear the line
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple numeric params to the ``'m'`` command can be combined into a single
|
|
|
sequence::
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESC [ 36 ; 45 ; 1 m # bright cyan text on magenta background
|
|
|
|
|
|
All other ANSI sequences of the form ``ESC [ <param> ; <param> ... <command>``
|
|
|
are silently stripped from the output on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any other form of ANSI sequence, such as single-character codes or alternative
|
|
|
initial characters, are not recognised or stripped. It would be cool to add
|
|
|
them though. Let me know if it would be useful for you, via the Issues on
|
|
|
GitHub.

Status & Known Problems
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've personally only tested it on Windows XP (CMD, Console2), Ubuntu
|
|
|
(gnome-terminal, xterm), and OS X.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some valid ANSI sequences aren't recognised.
