Save the above as HiLo.py in site packages then put a shortcut onto desktop

it would if one were to run it from the IDLE i.e., white background with
blue characters.
This works for me, after having saved the code as C:\hilo.py :
I create a shortcut to hilo.py on the desktop, then enter the
shortcut's properties and enter this in the 'target' field:
C:\Python25\python.exe C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py -r C:\hilo.py
(copy/paste and run this in the command line first to make sure that
it works right)
You could alternatively change the 'start in' field to
"C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib" (without the quotes), and the just have
"idle.bat -r C:\hilo.py" in the 'target' field.
The missing part of the trick to eliminate the dread "DOS Box" is
to use "pythonw" rather than python.
If you really are using python 2.5(.*) or later, you can simplify
the command a bit:
C:\Python25\pythonw.exe -m idlelib.idle -r C:\hilo.py
When using this, the "start in" field is irrelevant.
As to the colored text:
print "foo"
print >>sys.stderr, "mumble"
will print in a pair of colors in Idle (I don't think you get
general control over the colors.).
