A Light-weight python package for terminal output in color

Overview

Chalk allows you to print to your terminal in color. It also provides a simple logging handler and formatter for a more informative logging experience. Why print in black and white?

Installation

pip install pychalk

Usage
~~~~~

.. code:: python

    from __future__ import print_function
    import chalk

    print(chalk.red('foo'))

.. code:: python

    import chalk

    white = chalk.Chalk('white')
    white('foo', bold=True, underline=True)
    # returns '\x1b[37;1;4mfoo\x1b[0m'

    bold_white = white + chalk.utils.FontFormat('bold')
    bold_white('foo')
    # returns '\x1b[37;1mfoo\x1b[0m'

    bold_white + 'foo'
    # returns '\x1b[37;1mfoo'

    bold_white + 'foo' + chalk.RESET
    # returns '\x1b[37;1mfoo/x1b[0m'

Using Docker
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Alternatively use a docker image with pyenv installed. This project uses
``anthonyalmarza/alpine-pyenv:cable`` which has pyenv setup with the
latest versions of python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 (as of Dec 19th 2017).

First build the image and tag it as ``chalk``

.. code:: bash

    ./bin/local/build

Then run the tests

.. code:: bash

    ./bin/local/test

Thank you
