Your post advocates a

( ) technical ( ) legislative (X) market-based (X) vigilante ( ) form-based

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)

( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses
( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks

First there was: http://snipplr.com/view/15246/color-coded-svn-status

Then there was: http://snipplr.com/view/16540/color-coded-svn-status-v2

A few days ago, I found a handy script online that colorized the output of SVN status. It worked pretty well, but needed a little polish and a couple of tweaks to make it use more common Python idioms. As I continued to use it and fix bugs and inefficiencies, I ended up replacing nearly every line in the original, but it was still a great starting point.

Additional changes include ANSI word-wrapping, a configurable tab expansion feature (for better code alignment), the 'colorizedSubcommands' sequence so that only applicable commands get colorized, use of proper subprocess module calls so that piping through less will work (for example, try svn-color diff | less -r to see colorized diff output).

To use, stick it somewhere, make executable (`chmod 7
