[IPython-user] terminal colour howto request.

[mark starnes]

Hi everyone,

Embarrassed to ask this as I'm sure it's detailed in a manual somewhere
(but I can't find it!) but....

How can I write to the terminal in colour?  I've looked through some of
the IPython code but couldn't spot the info I needed.  I tried importing
curses; I don't seem to have it installed, and IPython is using colour
so I imagine there is another way.

A short example would be appreciated!

Best regards,

Mark.
