How To Print Coloured Text In A Terminal

There's other solutions out there like coloured but this little class does me nicely.

class C:
    W, G, R, P, Y, C = '\033[0m', '\033[92m', '\033[91m', '\033[95m', '\033[93m', '\033[36m'

Let's take it for a spin.

print(f'I like the colours {C.Y}green, {C.P}red, {C.R}purple, {C.C}cyan {C.W}and {C.G}yellow{C.W}')

Woo!

Watch out as you have to close with {C.W} to change back to white as there's no default... just change.

It does not work right out of the box with windows, to get the colours to work (on windows 10) you need to do the following...

Open Regedit
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Console
Create a DWORD with VirtualTerminalLevel
Set the value to 1

If you have any open cmd or powershell windows close them and reopen them and poof... colours.

Thanks for reading. x
