PaPYrus - Inori - 10-06-2015

Seeing as I run winblows, my vanilla command line doesn't have the capability to use multiple colors. Naturally, I decided to fuck with it.

Commands:

Code:
papyrus.color(c) - Changes the display color for the outputted code
papyrus.reset()  - Resets the color to 'DEFAULT'

Just a quick note: I included some exit handling, so you don't need to reset at the end of your file (be sure to set your DEFAULT, speaking of).

Source:

Spoiler: 1.3.2Code:
import ctypes
import struct
import atexit

#Set DEFAULT to your default commandline color (WHITE is default)
DEFAULT="WHITE"

STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE=-11
colors={"BLACK": 0x0000,
    "BLUE": 0x0001,
    "GREEN": 0x0002,
    "AQUA": 0x0003,
    "RED": 0x0004,
    "PURPLE": 0x0005,
    "GOLD": 0x0006,
    "L_GRAY": 0x0007,
    "GRAY": 0x0008,
    "L_BLUE": 0x0009,
    "LIME": 0x000a,
    "L_AQUA": 0x000b,
    "L_RED": 0x000c,
    "PINK": 0x000d,
    "YELLOW": 0x000e,
    "WHITE": 0x000f}

def get_csbi_attributes(handle):
    csbi=ctypes.create_string_buffer(22)
    res=ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(handle,csbi)
    assert res

def set_attr(a,b):
    ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTextAttribute(a,b)

handle=ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
reset=get_csbi_attributes(handle)

def color(c):
    set_attr(handle, colors[c.upper()])

def reset():
    set_attr(handle, colors[DEFAULT])

atexit.register(reset)

- Got rid of a bunch of useless shit that was needed in earlier versions, forgot to remove it before posting.

- Made some stuff private
Code:
from ctypes import windll
from atexit import register

#Set DEFAULT to your default commandline color (WHITE is default)
DEFAULT="WHITE"

__STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE=-11
__HANDLE=windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(__STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
__COLORS={"BLACK": 0x0000,
    "BLUE": 0x0001,
    "GREEN": 0x0002,
    "AQUA": 0x0003,
    "RED": 0x0004,
    "PURPLE": 0x0005,
    "GOLD": 0x0006,
    "L_GRAY": 0x0007,
    "GRAY": 0x0008,
    "L_BLUE": 0x0009,
    "LIME": 0x000a,
    "L_AQUA": 0x000b,
    "L_RED": 0x000c,
    "PINK": 0x000d,
    "YELLOW": 0x000e,
    "WHITE": 0x000f}


#actually changes the color
def __set(a,b):
    windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTextAttribute(a,b)

#publically called methods, both refer to __set
def color(c):
    __set(__HANDLE,__COLORS[c.upper()])

def reset():
    __set(__HANDLE,__COLORS[DEFAULT])

register(reset)

Example usage:

Code:
from papyrus import *

color('lime') #case is ignored
print "Hello, world!"

print "Hello, world!".format(color('purple')

End notes:

While PaPYrus is cross-platform, I don't see why you would use it on Linux I'm retarded. It's windows only.
I was too lazy to upload the .pyc, but it'll be compiled when you import PaPYrus to any of your programs.
Not all of this is my code. I got some help from StackOverflow, but most of it is from scratch.
If anyone can find some cool tricks that I haven't discovered, let me know.

Looks fun little library. I've always liked colors in the terminal Biggrin

RE: PaPYrus - Penis - 10-09-2015

Aweome little library, not hating just saying, isn't there other modules out there that do the same thing? Either way nice work Smile
