ColorPattern

ColorPattern is a Python module designed for enhancing text output in the console by applying color to specific patterns. It offers a flexible way to define patterns and apply different text colors, background colors, styles, underlines and other options to predefined patterns.

Use regular expressions to define the pattern to color. With the color pattern initialized, any console output that matches the pattern will have the defined styles applied to it.

Since Version 1.4.1 can strikethrough, blink text and italic text

Installation

You can install ColorPattern using pip:

pip install colorpattern

Usage

Set the patterns whith SetPatterns(, )

Use start_color(<patterns>) for initialize the color print, and end_color() for stop colorization.

Example

from colorpattern import *

def main():
    # Define your color patterns
    pattern1 = SetPattern(r'\d+', color=Fore.GREEN)
    pattern2 = SetPattern(r'Colorpattern', color=Fore.LIGHTRED_EX, underline=True)
    pattern3 = SetPattern(r'Croketillo', color=Fore.BLACK, back=Back.LIGHTWHITE_EX, style=Style.BRIGHT)
    email = SetPattern(r'\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,7}\b', color=Fore.BLUE)
    strike= SetPattern(r'NEW!!!', strikethrough=True)
    blink=SetPattern(r'BLINK', blink=True)
    italic=SetPattern(r'ITALIC TEXT', italic=True)

    # Initialize colorization and get the original print function and applied patterns
    print("\nSTART COLORIZED PRINT")
    print('-----------------------')
    start_color([pattern1, pattern2, pattern3, email, strike, italic,blink])

    # Use the custom print function with colorization
    print('Colorpattern v1.4.6')
    print('By Croketillo - croketillo@gmail.com')
    print('NEW!!! - NOW YOU CAN INCLUDE STRIKETHROUGH IN PATTERNS')
    print('This is a BLINK and ITALIC TEXT test')

    # End colorization and restore the original print function
    end_color()
    print("\nNORMAL PRINT")

    # Now, printing returns to normal
    print('-----------------------')
    print('Colorpattern v1.4.5')
    print('By Croketillo - croketillo@gmail.com')
    print('NEW!!! - NOW YOU CAN INCLUDE STRIKETHROUGH IN PATTERNS')
    print('This is a BLINK and ITALIC TEXT test')

    # You can re-enable colorization with new patterns if necessary
    new_pattern = SetPattern(r'new pattern', color=Fore.LIGHTCYAN_EX)

    # Use the custom print function with new patterns
    print("\nSTART COLORIZED PRINT AGAIN")
    start_color([pattern1, new_pattern])
    print('-----------------------')
    print('This is a new pattern. 123456')

    # End colorization and restore the original print function
    end_color()
    print("\nNORMAL PRINT AGAIN")
    # Now, printing returns to normal even with the new patterns
    print('-----------------------')
    print('This is a normal message again. 12345')
