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))
