Will the curses library help? The problem is I need the colour coded in my
string and the "print pattern" is static.
What's the quickest way to solve this with

standard curses library...
print '\x1b[34m%8s\x1b[0m' % 'TEST'

For example:
print '%8s' % '\x1b[34mTEST\x1b[0m'
doesn't not indent 'TEST' whereas
print '%8s' % TEST'

You omit half of the equation: the contents of str_with_escape.
Hi all!
I used escape sequences to produce colour output, but a construct like
print "%8s" % str_with_escape
doesn't do the right thing. I suppose the padding counts the escape
characters, too.
