myself and I recently found some C code on the web [2] that does this and I translated that into to Python and pywin. It can be done in about 4 lines
of Python.

Yes, its much easier than I expected. I had never seen the
SetConsoleTextAttribute API call before nor the GetStdHandle
for accessing stdout. Thanks for the link.

(While writing this email, I also discovered that you can control the cursor
position in a win32 console with pywin!  Fun!)

I'd still go for wconio for that kind of stuff - including
changing colors...
