We seem to agree that this is an OS+application issue, not a Python issue.
I think the red FAILEDs would be nice for unittest (a possible separate issue).

So it is probably not a big deal and can be wrapped up. But still it would

I don't see how this is a subprocess problem, or could be fixed in subprocess.
IIUC, SetConsoleTextAttribute() only has an effect if the output is connected
to a console. But that is not the case if you redirect the output to a pipe

Oh, good, I thought that was probably the case but I don't know Windows enough

Certainly on unix if you write ANSI color codes to stdout and the reader

being able to do something similar on Windows would be nice.

I'm not entirely positive that it would be doable, but looking at the
subprocess code, it looks like we do have an open handle to the windows
stdout buffer, including buffer attributes, so it should be possible to
translate coloured attributes into ANSI codes,

New submission from Caitlin Potter:
In migrating from GNU autoconf/automake build systems to a python-based build
system (Waf), I've been slightly annoyed that coloured text output from unit
test programs is lost on the windows platform (the gtest framework uses
