Why does termcolor output control characters instead of colored text in the Windows console?


To make the ANSI colors used in termcolor work with the windows terminal, you'll need to also import/init colorama;

>>> from termcolor import *>>> cprint('hello', 'red')←[31mhello←[0m>>> import colorama>>> colorama.init()>>> cprint('hello', 'red')hello                                    <-- in red color>>>


windows command prompt uses a command to change the terminal output colour.you can execute the command 'color color-code' to change the color instantly.Just having the command color activates this color feature.

In short.. For your script to work, Run this at the start of your script.

import osos.system('color')


In termcolor2 module you must type this:

import termcolor2import coloramacolorama.init()myText = input("Type a text : ")color = input("What color you want? : ")print(termcolor2.colored(myText, color))

That's it...
