  • Terminology: a much simpler alternative to python's Colorama library

    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)

    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?
