i would like to find out if there is any way to code in colour to python? Ive researched colorama and stuff like that but unfortunately i cant download anything at school to add colour to my python program. I am trying to make a grid for a treasure hunt game, and i would like to colour in some of the tiles

  • Could you provide more details? What do you want to color? The output on the console? – Salo Nov 06 '15 at 14:22
  • Yeah, wanted to colour the output on the IDLE. We use IDLE at school, and are unfortunately stuck with it as the python console is extremely buggy for unknown reasons – TeskeyIP May 16 '17 at 09:22

What colorama (and similar) libraries do under the hood is print 'ansi escape sequences' to generate terminal colors. you can read more about these special sequences here:
