linkcheck.ansicolor

ANSI Color definitions and functions. For Windows systems, the colorama module uses ctypes and Windows DLLs to generate colored output.

From Term::ANSIColor, applies also to this module:

The codes output by this module are standard terminal control codes, complying with ECMA-48 and ISO 6429 (generally referred to as “ANSI color” for the color codes). The non-color control codes (bold, dark, italic, underline, and reverse) are part of the earlier ANSI X3.64 standard for control sequences for video terminals and peripherals.

Note that not all displays are ISO 6429-compliant, or even X3.64-compliant (or are even attempting to be so).

Jean Delvare provided the following table of different common terminal emulators and their support for the various attributes and others have helped me flesh it out:

SEE ALSO

ECMA-048 is available on-line (at least at the time of this writing) at http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/ECMA-048.HTM.

ISO 6429 is available from ISO for a charge; the author of this module does not own a copy of it. Since the source material for ISO 6429 was ECMA-048 and the latter is available for free, there seems little reason to obtain the ISO standard.

Functions

esc_ansicolor(color)	convert a named color definition to an escaped ANSI color
get_columns(fp)	Return number of columns for given file.
get_win_color(color)	Convert a named color definition to Windows console color foreground, background and style numbers.
has_colors(fp)	Test if given file is an ANSI color enabled tty.
write_color(fp, text, color)	Colorize text with given color.

Classes

ColoredStreamHandler([strm])	Send colored log messages to streams (file-like objects).
Colorizer(fp)	Prints colored messages to streams.

class linkcheck.ansicolor.ColoredStreamHandler(strm=None)

Bases: StreamHandler

Send colored log messages to streams (file-like objects).

Log to given stream (a file-like object) or to stderr if strm is None.

emit(record)

Emit a record.

If a formatter is specified, it is used to format the record. The record is then written to the stream with a trailing newline [N.B. this may be removed depending on feedback].

get_color(record)

Get appropriate color according to log level.

class linkcheck.ansicolor.Colorizer(fp)

Bases: object

Prints colored messages to streams.

Initialize with given stream (file-like object).

linkcheck.ansicolor.esc_ansicolor(color)

convert a named color definition to an escaped ANSI color

linkcheck.ansicolor.get_columns(fp)

Return number of columns for given file.

linkcheck.ansicolor.get_win_color(color)

Convert a named color definition to Windows console color foreground, background and style numbers.

linkcheck.ansicolor.has_colors(fp)

Test if given file is an ANSI color enabled tty.

linkcheck.ansicolor.write_color(fp, text, color)

Colorize text with given color.
