For the sake of posterity (and the archives), I figured I'd list the "4 lines of Python" I mentioned above: <code> import win32console handle = win32console.GetStdHandle(win32console.STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) handle.SetConsoleTextAttribute(win32console.FOREGROUND_BLUE) print 'blue text' </code> Beginning with this snippet, there are a number of other things you can do, such as set the cursor position (handle.SetConsoleCursorPosition) and get the properties of the console itself (handle.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo).
