Color results in rudix package manager

[santagada]

output from rudix command is not colored, but colors can help to make the output easier to parse by humans. The idea is to use termcolor[1] and somehow detect if it is running on a tty ("if sys.stdout.isatty():" should be enough) and if so print results using color.

I really like to see color output, but I don't like the approach, by using code from some else. What I would like to see is a Class that add supports for streaming by using ANSI colors. Very simple and useful, and I think you can do it :)

Or using functions... print red("No packages installed") print green("Downloading %s…") % package_name print amber("Couldn't sync with remote repository!")

Or create a class that is a String with color support and be able to detect pipe redirections. (istty).

this is exactly what termcolor provides and it is only 100 lines for all colors/backgrouns and resets.
