Cross-platform colored text for python3

cprint.py

# If you can write a simpler but still *readable* cross-platform colored text print function please comment!

2.0

try:
    from ctypes import windll
    _cprint = (lambda c, f=windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTextAttribute,
                         s=windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(-11), **_: f(s, c))
    _colors = 1,3,2,5,4,6,7,9,11,10,13,12,14,15
except ImportError:
    _colors = (f'\033[{i};3{a}m' for i in (0,1) for a in (4,6,2,5,1,3,7))

(Blue, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, Yellow, White,
 BLUE, CYAN, GREEN, MAGENTA, RED, YELLOW, WHITE) = _colors

def cprint(*tokens, reset=WHITE, end='\n'):
    for t in (*tokens, reset, end):
        (print if type(t) == str else _cprint)(t, end='', flush=True)

• Better interface – no sequences like BOLD, RED. Just use Red for normal intensity and RED for bold (anti-PEP8 but so what?)
• Colors are just strings on unix-ish platforms, so no more special set_color transformation to ANSI escapes from ints
• Short-circuiting ternary conditional means _cprint doesn't even need to exist except on Windows
• Golfed from 16 lines to 12, while becoming more readable!

Example

if success:
    cprint(Green, ' [', GREEN, '✓', Green, '] ', White, 'Tests passed!')
else:
    cprint(Red, ' [', RED, 'x', Red, '] ', White, 'Tests failed!')

3.0?

• Allow inline color tokens
• Don't invent a whole library!
