python-kolors
Simple and lightweight shell color output function.
It also checks if terminal supports color before vomitting ANSI codes.
Usage
from kolors import c
print c('Some <red>Red</end> and <blue>blue</end> text')
print c('<green bg>Some green background</end>')
print c('Some <cyan bold bg>{}</end>').format('interpolation')Note
The keyword in the closing tag isn't really relevant, but I like to use "</end>" everywhere for shortness and consistency. Simple shell color output function.

Roadmap
Not sure where this project will go, but suggestions and pull requests are welcome.
The features bellow were suggested, I'm seriously considering them for the next iterations.
Use curses
import curses
curses.setupterm()
if curses.tigetstr('setf') is not None:
# Red foreground, if supported.
print (curses.tparm(curses.tigetstr('setf'), curses.COLOR_RED).decode('utf-8'))From man 5 terminfo:
To change the current foreground or background color on a Tekā tronix-type terminal, use setaf (set ANSI foreground) and setab (set ANSI background) or setf (set foreground) and setb (set backā ground). These take one parameter, the color number. The SVr4 documentation describes only setaf/setab; the XPG4 draft says that "If the terminal supports ANSI escape sequences to set background and foreground, they should be coded as setaf and setab, respecā tively.
Note: thanks u/awegge!
Cleaner, nestable syntax
<fg red>Red text<b>Red bold text <bg blue>Red bold tect on Blue background</bg>red bold again</b>Just red again </fg>Wrapping around other libraries
Like colorama & click.style
