Colorama for Python, Not returning colored print lines on Windows

Question

I\'ve installed colorama for python. I\'ve imported the module as follows:

import colorama
from colorama import init
init()
from colorama import Fore, Back,          


        

Answer 1

I know I'm late, but this will hopefully help anyone still looking for the answer.

Stating from Colorama's documentation on PyPI:

Colorama can be used happily in conjunction with existing ANSI libraries such as Termcolor

from colorama import init
from termcolor import colored

# use Colorama to make Termcolor work on Windows too
init()

# then use Termcolor for all colored text output
print(colored('Hello, World!', 'green', 'on_red'))

This worked for me, on Anaconda Prompt (essentially cmd.exe) on Windows 10 64-bit.

Colorama's native ANSI sequences don't seem to work for some reason. An external ANSI library (i.e. Termcolor) did the trick for me.
