Probably not possible but.. Colour changing in shell - Skidy - Apr 13, 2017
So, in the Python shell is it possible to change specific print statements color?
print("Hello") in red.. etc.. etc..
I only question this as I have seen a few things online but none seem to work
Without installing some other library such as colorama.

Hi,
you should install some lib, like the one you stated (colorama) or termcolor.
I've found this webpage which explain very well: since I've started learning python not so long ago, I'll paste the link here, because it can explain better than me ;) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama
In any case, on Windows, remember to import init, or it won't work.
Hope you'll find a solution!

That didn't work for some reason.
I get this:

It only works on Linux and maybe mac not Windows.

You can do it in the CMD shell, not the IDE shell.

If you are using the Terminal you can use this:
PHP Code
<?php
class cPrint():
HEADER = '\033[95m'
OKBLUE = '\033[94m'
OKGREEN = '\033[92m'
WARNING = '\033[93m'
FAIL = '\033[91m'
ENDC = '\033[0m'
BOLD = '\033[1m'
def header(self, output):
print "{}{}{}".format(self.HEADER, output, self.ENDC)
def okblue(self, output):
print "{}{}{}".format(self.OKBLUE, output, self.ENDC)
def okgreen(self, output):
print "{}{}{}".format(self.OKGREEN, output, self.ENDC)
def fail(self, output):
print "{}{}{}".format(self.FAIL, output, self.ENDC)
def bold(self, output):
print "{}{}{}".format(self.BOLD, output, self.ENDC)
# this is a test to make sure it is working
Print = cPrint()
Print.header('Hello Word!')
Print.okblue('Hello Word!')
Print.okgreen('Hello Word!')
Print.fail('Hello Word!')
Print.bold('Hello Word!')
Hope this helps,
Good luck!

Colorama is the way to go. It is available for both python 2 and 3.

"ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored terminal text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes this work on Windows, too, by wrapping stdout, stripping ANSI sequences it finds (which would appear as gobbledygook in the output), and converting them into the appropriate win32 calls to modify the state of the terminal. On other platforms, Colorama does nothing."

Yes, try using also termcolor, this sometimes is easier.

I read that shortly after making that post. Will close as this has been resolved.
