[ Python 常見問題 ] Print in terminal with colors?

Source From Here 
Question 
How can I output colored text to the terminal, in Python? What is the best Unicode symbol to represent a solid block? 

How-To 
One easier option would be to use the cprint function from termcolor package: 

>>> from termcolor import cprint
>>> cprint('john', 'red')
john
>>> cprint('ken', 'green')
ken
>>> cprint('%s is %d years-old' % ('john', 37), 'blue')
john is 37 years-old

Or you can define a string that starts a color and a string that ends the color, then print your text with the start string at the front and the end string at the end:

1. CRED = '\033[91m'  
2. CEND = '\033[0m'  
3. print(CRED + "Error, does not compute!" + CEND)  

This produces the following in bash, in urxvt with a Zenburn-style color scheme: 
 

Through experemintation, we can get more colors: 
 

This way we can create a full color collection:

1. CEND      = '\33[0m'  
2. CBOLD     = '\33[1m'  
3. CITALIC   = '\33[3m'  
4. CURL      = '\33[4m'  
5. CBLINK    = '\33[5m'  
6. CBLINK2   = '\33[6m'  
7. CSELECTED = '\33[7m'  
8.   
9. CBLACK  = '\33[30m'  
10. CRED    = '\33[31m'  
11. CGREEN  = '\33[32m'  
12. CYELLOW = '\33[33m'  
13. CBLUE   = '\33[34m'  
14. CVIOLET = '\33[35m'  
15. CBEIGE  = '\33[36m'  
16. CWHITE  = '\33[37m'  
17.   
18. CBLACKBG  = '\33[40m'  
19. CREDBG    = '\33[41m'  
20. CGREENBG  = '\33[42m'  
21. CYELLOWBG = '\33[43m'  
22. CBLUEBG   = '\33[44m'  
23. CVIOLETBG = '\33[45m'  
24. CBEIGEBG  = '\33[46m'  
25. CWHITEBG  = '\33[47m'  
26.   
27. CGREY    = '\33[90m'  
28. CRED2    = '\33[91m'  
29. CGREEN2  = '\33[92m'  
30. CYELLOW2 = '\33[93m'  
31. CBLUE2   = '\33[94m'  
32. CVIOLET2 = '\33[95m'  
33. CBEIGE2  = '\33[96m'  
34. CWHITE2  = '\33[97m'  
35.   
36. CGREYBG    = '\33[100m'  
37. CREDBG2    = '\33[101m'  
38. CGREENBG2  = '\33[102m'  
39. CYELLOWBG2 = '\33[103m'  
40. CBLUEBG2   = '\33[104m'  
41. CVIOLETBG2 = '\33[105m'  
42. CBEIGEBG2  = '\33[106m'  
43. CWHITEBG2  = '\33[107m'  

Here is the code to generate the test:

1. x = 0  
2. for i in range(24):  
3.   colors = ""  
4.   for j in range(5):  
5.     code = str(x+j)  
6.     colors = colors + "\33[" + code + "m\\33[" + code + "m\033[0m "  
7.   print(colors)  
8.   x=x+5
