asciimatics VS colorama

For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.

I've used asciimatics in the past to good effect.

Take a look at rich (kinda new, but pretty neat), asciimatics, or urwid

Try using https://github.com/tartley/colorama, that should straighten out most low level problems. If you still have issues, you need to adjust your color scheme in pycharm.

from colorama import Fore, Style # Colorama doesn't support Underlined text because it # is struggling to make it work for windows users # https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/38 print(Fore.RED + Style.BRIGHT + 'Danger' + Style.NORMAL)

There are obviously a lot of libraries in python that color text, but I never loved their syntaxes, so I ended up creating this one a few years back. For comparison, this is how you print a red, bold, underlined string in **terminology**\: from terminology import in_red print(in_red('Danger').in_bold().underlined()) and this is how you do it with the other alternatives: **colorama** from colorama import Fore, Style # Colorama doesn't support Underlined text because it # is struggling to make it work for windows users # https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/38 print(Fore.RED + Style.BRIGHT + 'Danger' + Style.NORMAL)

The link to its github repository is this: colorama.

Escape sequences may vary depending on the terminal you use. You can try some package like Colorama which escapes those sequences and gives you the correct color in Windows. There is also Blessings.

As I mentioned earlier, Hype doesn't rely on any third-party library but then there are some plugins that third-party library powered Hype. For example, the color printing that is powered by colorama.

Looks really cool! Way more functionality than I'd ever need. I've been using colorama for color coding info, warning, and error messages in my Python projects. No complaints. From the feature list of rich it sounds like it probably pulls in a lot more dependencies?
