Hi, I have done some more work on Console.py from the readline package version 1.12, adding support for background colors and testing of proper function of them (run the Console.py script to see coloured output). Added was also the possibility to set the default text/background colors for colored output using: Console.setStandardBackgroundColorTo(strColor) Console.setStandardForegroundColorTo(strColor) where strColor can be one of: [ '(dark)black' ,'(dark)red', ,'(dark)green' ,'(dark)yellow' ,'(dark)blue' ,'(dark)purple' ,'(dark)cyan' ,'(dark)white' ,'light black' ,'light red' ,'light green' ,'light yellow' ,'light blue' ,'light purple' ,'light cyan' ,'light white' ]
There are some comments added where e.g. the colors are named including their HTML color notation to clarify which colors are displayed. I work on Windows 2000 SP 4, so it will be interesting for me to get some feedback if the colors are the same in other Windows versions. Which colors are displayed on Linux/Unix by the native readline? There are also some other changes done to make the code better readable (from my personal point of view ;-) The blnIPythonFixActive flag allows to set colored text output of IPython to (dark)white background (instead of the standard one, which is in my Console the 'light white' one i.e. I work with white background as IDLE does). Another modification is, that when a text without escape sequences is passed to Console.write(), no escape sequences are sent, so, that the colouring stays the same until it is explicitely reset. I find this behaviour more strightforward than the implicit writing of texts in the standard colors if no colors are specified. If someone is interested to check it out I have uploaded it to: http://people.freenet.de/AiTI-IT/Python/Console.py The extended Console.py module can be used standalone for writing of any coloured texts to the console using alternatively . Console.setStandardBackgroundColorTo(strColor) Console.setStandardForegroundColorTo(strColor) with resetting the colors or the build-in ANSI escape sequences for the text and the background. Utilizing the code or some parts of it in the next release of readline is welcome.
