error-helper
This is a minimalistic python module which helps you print colorful messages for CLI tools. It's available on PyPi, but you can also add it to your project as a git submodule.

>>> from error_helper import *
>>> info("this is information") # output will be blue
this is information
>>> hint("this is less important information") # output will be grayed out
this is less important information
>>> warning("something didn't go quite right...") # output will be yellow
warning: something didn't go quite right...
>>> error("something went terribly wrong") # output will be red
error: something went terribly wrong
>>> success("completed the operation!") # output will be green
successfully completed the operation!
prompt(...) and prompt_input(...)
The prompt(...) function, by default, prints a newline, followed by the provided values,
a colon and another newline:
>>> prompt("enter the server url")
enter the server url:
>>>The prompt_input(...) function, by default, prints the provided values, followed by a colon
and a space. Then it calls the default input(...) function and returns it's result. The result
will be stripped if strip=True (default).
>>> prompt("enter the server url"); url = prompt_input("url:")
enter the server url:
url: https://30350n.de
>>> url
'https://30350n.de'
