How to change color in python (windows)

Question

Original: os.system("echo \u001b[31mU have Been Hacked").

And I have tried print(u""), print() but nothing works and I don't want to install any libraries so can someone help me?

Use colorama library.

import colorama

# Init allows color printing on windows terminals
# and autoreset resets to default color after each print
colorama.init(autoreset=True)

print(colorama.Fore.Green + "Hello world!")

I don't think there is an easy way to print colors on windows terminals without the colorama library. Unless you are strictly targeting [windows 10](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16755142/how-to-make-win32-console-recognize-ansi-vt100-escape-sequences) – sqz Aug 16 '20 at 15:51

So this is without installing any libraries my implementation is

import os


def printWhiteOnRed(s):
    os.system("echo |set /p out=\u001b[97;101m")
    print(s)
    os.system("echo |set /p out=\u001b[0m")

s= "you have done well"
printWhiteOnRed(s)

|set /p out=
This is to supress line ending in the command prompt, see this Stack Overflow answer.

\u001b
This is the ANSI escape character

[97;101m This are the colours for white foreground on red background.

[0m This is the reset code to ensure any further output is in normal style
