# Colours.py # # This DEMO script prints colours and codes for Linux, Classic AMIGA and Windows Python. # # This is Public Domain and you may do with it as you please. # # Tested on standard classic AMIGA A1200(HD), E-UAE, Debian Linux, Windows XP and Vista, # and WinUAE from Python 1.4.0 to 3.3A2. # # This shows how to enhance text printouts to the screen for better presentation. # Windows is limited to a complete switch of the whole window to only foreground # and background. The AMIGA and derivatives are limited to ONLY the first eight # WorkBench colours. Linux is unable to do ITALICS reliably on various terminal # programs using the escape mode method... # # Because of a fun program I uploaded that was voted down I decided to upload this # because although some may know about it, MANY won't! I will say no more about the fun # program. This does NOT do anything to your personal Terminal setups except display # various modes and colours at the flick of a simple escape sequence. # # Copy/drag this file to the Lib(rary) directory/folder/drawer, rename to Colours.py # and run from the Python Prompt using:- # # >>> import Colours<RETURN/ENTER> # # And away you go... # # $VER: Colours.py_Version_0.00.10_(C)2012_B.Walker_G0LCU. # # Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems... # The only, (standard), imports required for this DEMO... import sys import os import time print("\nColours inside a Linux Terminal, Classic AMIGA CLI") print("or Windows Command Prompt using Python.") # The code is self explanatory... if sys.platform=="linux2": print("\n\033[0mThis line is your startup defaults...") print("\n \033[0;37;40mNormal Colors.\033[0m \033[1;37;40mBright, Bold, Foregrond Colors.\033[0m\n") print(" \033[0;30;47m Black \033[0m 0;30;47m \033[1;30;40m Dark Gray \033[0m 1;30;40m") print(" \033[0;31;47m Red \033[0m 0;31;47m \033[1;31;40m Bright Red \033[0m 1;31;40m") print(" \033[0;32;47m Green \033[0m 0;32;47m \033[1;32;40m Bright Green \033[0m 1;32;40m") print(" \033[0;33;47m Brown \033[0m 0;33;47m \033[1;33;40m Yellow \033[0m 1;33;40m") print(" \033[0;34;47m Blue \033[0m 0;34;47m \033[1;34;40m Bright Blue \033[0m 1;34;40m") print(" \033[0;35;47m Magenta \033[0m 0;35;47m \033[1;35;40m Bright Magenta \033[0m 1;35;40m") print(" \033[0;36;47m Cyan \033[0m 0;36;47m \033[1;36;40m Bright Cyan \033[0m 1;36;40m") print(" \033[0;37;40m Light Grey \033[0m 0;37;40m \033[1;37;40m White \033[0m 1;37;40m") print("\n\033[0;4;37;40mUnderlined text...\033[0m") print("\n\033[1;4;37;40mBright, bold, underlined text...\033[0m") print("\n\033[0mFinally reset the colours back to your startup defaults...\nPress Ctrl-C to Quit:- ") if sys.platform=="amiga": print("\n\033[0mThis line is your startup defaults...") print("\n\033[0mThe first eight WorkBench colours only!
