This is what is called "scope creep", although in this case perhaps "scope gallop" is more appropriate *wink* Supporting coloured output out of the box would be nice but if we want to do it properly, we would have to support at least ANSI-compatible terminals and Windows. And once we support it in tracebacks, you know people will say "if Python can print coloured text in a traceback, why can't I print coloured text in my own output?" and so that's going to rapidly end up needing something like colorama. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/2N2IOBTUSCZQVZSCPSDHKBCR5UCKXGC2/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
