housepaint
is a demonstration library for a talk on publishing Python packages. A silly little thing with limited
utility, it allows you to recolor an entire function's worth of text with beautiful, simple decorators.
housepaint
requires Python >= 3.6.
As of version 0.0.1 it has no dependencies outside the Python standard library, except for pytest in dev
.
Via poetry
:
poetry add housepaint
Via pip
:
pip install housepaint
from housepaint import BG, FG, paint, Style
@paint(foreground=FG.GREEN, background=BG.BLACK, styles=Style.BOLD)
def success_example() -> None:
print("This")
print("Should")
print("All")
print("Be")
print("Green")
success_example()
Will result in all of the print output of the function success_example
being in bold, green font on a black background.
This library relies on ANSI escape codes to recolour text. If your printed text has ANSI codes there's a good chance it won't work out well for you.
