init autoreset=True breaks colors in terminal output #258

Serfentum commented 4 years ago

Hi! I'm really sorry, can't understand why my shell works in such way, but when I write code like this

import colorama
from colorama import Fore

colorama.init(autoreset=True)
print(Fore.Green, 'Some text', sep='')

And run it in my terminal there is no colors at all( If I don't set autoreset to True and reset style manually (via Fore.RESET) it works fine except burden of manual style resetting. What's wrong with my approach? In pycharm code with colorama.init(autoreset=True, convert=False, strip=False) works ok - it outputs colored text

I have ubuntu 16.04 and GNOME Terminal 3.18.3, thank you very much!

Hi. This indeed looks odd, but apparently expected, as "autoreset" resets the colors after each print argument. In your case, the code prints to the terminal: Green (reset), 'Some text' (reset) and this is why "Some text" is printed without the green color. Try using:

print(Fore.GREEN + 'Some text', sep='')
