All these functions accept the following formatting parameters:

• bgcolor: str, default None

Some examples:

import consolor

consolor.print_line('underline', underline=True)
consolor.print_line('green bg', bgcolor=consolor.BgColor.Green)
consolor.update_line('0%')
consolor.update_line('100%')
print()

For more colors and background colors see consolor.Color and consolor.BgColor.

You can also use it in builtin print():

import consolor

print(consolor.Color.Red, 'Red')
print('Red two')
print(consolor.Color.Reset, end='') # You have to handle resetting your self.
print('Not Red')

print(consolor.BgColor.Red, 'Red')
print('Red two', consolor.BgColor.Reset)
print('None')

To install consolor use pip.

pip install consolor
