_If_ this is non-windows, world, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code http://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama and http://bmistudents.blogspot.com/2006/08/ansi-escape-codes-in-python.html — Kimvais, Aug 18 '11 at 18:12
It is probably easier, at least in windows, to give the program a GUI with something like QT where you can control the color and every other aspect of the display relatively easily. — TimothyAWiseman, Aug 18 '11 at 18:17

You need ANSI Colors, for your command line. But this isn't always supported by the computer.
