Description:
prettystring 0.1.1
prettystring
Use prettystring to build colorful strings for more engaging output.
Prettystrings are conveniently encoded with the proper ANSI color codes based
on the colors you specify for them.
Installation
Install using pip:
pip install prettystring
Usage
As straight forward as you may think:
>>> from prettystring import prettystring as pstr
>>> colorful = pstr('sweet!')
>>> colorful.__str__()
'\x1b[;39;49msweet!\x1b[0m'
Prettystrings are initialized with default ANSI code values. sweet! should be
in default colors. Paint it with paint():
>>> colorful.paint(pstr.blue)
>>> colorful.__str__()
'\x1b[;34;49msweet!\x1b[0m'
>>> print colorful
sweet!
The value of colorful will show up blue when print is called on it.
You can also initialize prettystrings with a style:
>>> stylish = pstr('the answer is 42', pstr.blink, pstr.green, pstr.bgblue)
>>> stylish.__str__()
'\x1b[5;32;44mthe answer is 42\x1b[0m'
>>> print stylish
the answer is 42
You can even format:
>>> pstr('Hello {}!').paint(pstr.red).format(pstr('world').paint(pstr.blue))
'\x1b[;31;49mHello \x1b[;34;49mworld\x1b[0m\x1b[;31;49m!\x1b[0m'
Note that format returns a regular string. This is a known limitation, and is
being worked on.
Prettystring Enums
Use these enum values with the paint() method to apply color and formatting
to prettystrings.
Note that you can only apply one style, one color, and one background color at
a time (no mixing colors [yet]).
