I find that you have to do this to turn on ANSI processing in CMD.EXE on Window
10
and I assume earlier Windwows as wel:
import ctypes
kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
# turn on the console ANSI colour handling
kernel32.SetConsoleMode( kernel32.GetStdHandle( -11 ), 7 )
Now you can use escape sequences:
print('\x1b[31m Hello in red \x1b[m')
Given the need to call WIN32 APIs to get this working making this part
of stdlib would help a lot.
