Output of color codes in Windows results in just control codes

[gregersn]

Since Windows doesn't support the color codes used by ColorLogger directly, the output contains a lot of garbage.

However, as suggested by the python-colorlog github page:

On Windows, requires colorama to work properly. A dependancy on colorama is included as an optional package dependancy - depending on colorlog[windows] instead of colorlog will ensure it is included when installing.

also, by adding

 import colorama

and

colorama.init() at the start of main() in cli.py output is much more sane.
