I have a simple question. I use the following textPrompt in some of my Jython

Is there a way to add an ANSI color code to the end
Normally, for any kind of fancy terminal work, I'd say use curses.
But I suspect Jython may not support curses?
On the offchance it does do curses it would look like:
import curses
def main(scr):
if curses.has_colors(): # check the terminal supports color
curses.start_color(). # init the color system
curses.init_pair(1,curses.COLOR_YELLOW,curses.COLOR_BLUE)
# Now start adding text coloring as desired...
scr.addstr(0,0,"This string is yellow and blue",
curses.color_pair(1))
scr.refresh(). # make it visible
else: scr.addstr("Sorry, no colors available")
curses.wrapper(main)
HTH
Curses is a C module, and there is a Python interface to it. Jython
would have to find an equivalent Java library. Still, isn't the case
that the terminal color output commands are pretty standard? They could
just be stuck into the output string. Doing more fancy things, like
moving the cursor arbitrarily, probably differ but the OP just mentioned
colors.
