@derstolz nice example, thanks. Although putting colors into an f-string directly looks more flexible:
f"{colors.RED}{colors.BG_GRAY} Red text on gray bg {colors.BG_CYAN} Still red text but on cyan bg {colors.RESET}"

@mtalimanchuk
I don't think so, because it's not portable to older version of Python

@derstolz
"{0}{1} Red text on gray bg {2} Still red text but on cyan bg {3}".format(colors.RED, colors.BG_GRAY, colors.BG_CYAN, colors.RESET)

Anyway static methods are good for wrapping your custom tasks, e.g.:

@staticmethod
def colorize_article(title, text, comments):
    title = f"{colors.BG_GRAY}{colors.YELLOW}{title}{colors.RESET}"
    text = f"{colors.BOLD}{text}{colors.RESET}"
    comments = f"{colors.BG_YELLOW}{comments}{colors.RESET}"
    return '\n'.join([title, text, comments])

@mtalimanchuk you don't have to define positional arguments with .format() method:

@derstolz I know, I used them for readability
