He, he -- umm yeah (and who said all that time with THEDRAW as a kid
would never pay off) ;-) Try this:
#! /usr/bin/env python
def statusMessage(msg, status, msgWidth=60):
if status.lower() == 'success':
status = '\033[32m[%s]\033[00m' % status
elif status.lower() == 'failed':
status = '\033[31m[%s]\033[00m' % status
else:
status = '\033[33m[%s]\033[00m' % status
msg = msg + ' ' * (msgWidth - len(msg))
print '%s%s' % (msg, status)
if __name__ == '__main__':
statusMessage('Application Started', 'Success')
statusMessage('Application Configured', 'Failed')
statusMessage('', 'Retry')
statusMessage('Application Configured', 'Success')
