Python Pretty table with color output

Question

I am using pretty table to generate tables output.

Is it possible to generate in terms of colors. If failed it should display in red and its ok it should display in green.

Code:

from prettytable import PrettyTable
a = "ok"
b = "Failed"
t = PrettyTable(['Input', 'status'])
if a == "ok":
   t.add_row(['FAN', a])
else:
    t.add_row(['FAN', b])
print t

take a look at `colorama`(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama) — Ma0, Apr 24 '17 at 09:05

Here is an example of an easy way to add colour in table.

from prettytable import PrettyTable

#Color
R = "\033[0;31;40m" #RED
G = "\033[0;32;40m" # GREEN
Y = "\033[0;33;40m" # Yellow
B = "\033[0;34;40m" # Blue
N = "\033[0m" # Reset


a = "ok"
b = "Failed"
t = PrettyTable(['Input', 'status'])

#Adding Both example in table
t.add_row(['FAN', G+a+N])
t.add_row(['FAN', R+b+N])

print t

@SuitBoyApps - `print(t)` will fix it. – Mike Roberts Feb 23 '20 at 23:44

How can we add background color as well? I want to show red and green...but as command prompt has black background it is not readable..And if i change the background of command prompt to white, the color set by python still has black background – Yogesh Gandhi Dec 21 '22 at 09:06
I had to set color="white" to make it work (in the beginnning) – Yogesh Gandhi Dec 21 '22 at 09:07

here we go

from prettytable import PrettyTable
a = "ok"
b = "Failed"
t = PrettyTable(['Input', 'status'])
if a == "ok":
  a = "\033[1;32m%s\033[0m" %a 
  t.add_row(['FAN', a])
else:
  b = "\033[1;31m%s\033[0m" %b
  t.add_row(['FAN', b])
print t
