Python print colored STDOUT

.py

COLOR_MAP = { 
    'black': '30',
    'red': '31',
    'green': '32',
    'yellow': '33',
    'blue': '34',
    'magenta': '35',
    'cyan': '36',
    'white': '37',
}

def colorize(text, color):
    return '\033[1;{0}m{1}\033[0m'.format(COLOR_MAP[color], text)

for color in COLOR_MAP.keys():
    print(colorize(text='Hello, world', color=color))

Considering the above is not a cross-platform solution, I recommend using colorama.
