Hard-coding control/escape sequences is just lame. Use the curses modules
to obtain the correct sequences for the terminal.
As the OP I'm really interested in doing so. I currently have all my
colors hard-coded.
Now It may be lame but as soon as I call curses.initscr(), it's just
messing up with my terminal, moreover I didn't figure out how to print
'hello' using curses color codes.
Anyone has an example ? I'm pretty sure it may fit in one line.
In general initscr() ought to work. It fails if it has no/a wrong
idea of what your terminal is.
In the same shell as you run run your program type
set | grep -i term
Now some entry should show up, e.g.
TERM=xterm
infocmp $TERM
should fetch information about your terminal, from the same source
as curses does.
Possible problems are:
- your operating system/configurations lies to curses about the terminal
or your terminal is not specified at all
- curses has not been properly installed and cannot find the database

Use curses.setupterm() to locate and parse the terminfo/termcap entry
without entering curses mode. Most curses functions won't work without
calling initscr(), but the terminfo functions will.
moreover I didn't figure out how to print
'hello' using curses color codes.
Anyone has an example ? I'm pretty sure it may fit in one line.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import curses
curses.setupterm()
setaf = curses.tigetstr('setaf')
if not setaf:
setaf = ''
print (curses.tparm(setaf,1) + hello, +
curses.tparm(setaf,2) + world +
curses.tparm(setaf,0))

Colour of output text
Hi, I would like to learn a way of changing the colour of a particular part of the output text. I've tried the following: import os os.system(color 17) print This should be white on blue But that command changes the colour of ALL the text and the whole background. What i'm trying to do is simple: Change a single part (A letter, a word, a phrase) of the output text. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks in advance, ~~A.Rosslyn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
