try this instead:
one = ('weight', 1.0, AttrMap(Text(text), 'col1')))
two = ('weight', 2.0, AttrMap(Text(moretext), 'col2')))

When you use text attributes inline they will follow the text exactly,
including wrapping and line ends, not extend to fill the whole rendered
area. They let you hilight individual words or phrases in a body of
text. AttrMap is what you need to colour a whole widget.

Not at the moment, but if you can think of what a good API would look
like I'd be interested. Problems include supporting mono/16/88/256
colour modes equally well, and the fact that some combinations don't
work very well on some terminals.
