[Linux] Terminal Coloring text

[Gaijin]

Sup guys, I've been working on a script for a while now, for which I needed to display output in various colors. On Linux, the Terminal does support this and it's quite easy to get done, windows however, doesn't have this power, though there are few Python modules for this.
My code is supposed to run on Linux, so I can't say if this module will work, even if you install something that would enable it, I never tested it on windows nor Mac systems.

Anyway, for all you who use Linux and could need this, here you go;

CLR_BGMG = 45 # magneta background
CLR_BGCY = 46 # cyan background
CLR_BGLG = 47 # gray background

def colorize(txt, color):
    colored = '\033[1;%dm%s\033[1;m' % (color, string)
    return colored

Function: colorize(String txt, Integer color)

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

print c('Thin White', CLR_THIN)
print c('Thick White', CLR_THIC)
print c('Thin Gray', CLR_THGR)
print c('Underline', CLR_UNLI)
print c('White Background', CLR_BGWH)
print c('Transparent Text', CLR_TRAN), '<- (Transparent Text)'
print c('Strike-trough', CLR_STRT)
print c('Gray Text', CLR_GRAY)
print c('Red Text', CLR_RED)
print c('Green Text', CLR_GRN)
print c('Yellow Text', CLR_YLW)
print c('Blue Text', CLR_BLUE)
print c('Magenta Text', CLR_MGNT)
print c('Cyan Text', CLR_CYAN)
print c('Light-gray Text', CLR_WHT)
print c('Black Background', CLR_BGBA)
print c('Red Background', CLR_BGRD)
print c('Green Background', CLR_BGGR)
print c('Brown/Yellow-ish background', CLR_BGBR)
print c('Blue Background', CLR_BGBL)
print c('Magenta Background', CLR_BGMG)
print c('Cyan Background', CLR_BGCY)
print c('Light-gray Background', CLR_BGLG)
print c('Dark-gray Background', CLR_BGDG)

NOTE files importing the color module need encoding defined as utf-8...
I expect that you guys know how to use it, it's only one function with few variables defined for easier color declaration...
So there are no how to's, if you don't understand something feel free to ask...

I'm going to test this now, Gaijin. I'll update this post with what I think about it.

Nice contribution! I will use this ;)

this is good looking man.

This looks pretty useful.

Great. Right after I formatted Ubuntu off my system. >
