Release 1.0.6 (November 27. 2023)
Code Changes:
Use PEP-484 compatible exports to satisfy static type checkers.
Release 1.0.5 (November 22. 2023)
Code Changes:
Add py.typed file for better typing support. Thanks! @Eisfunke
Use explicit imports: from .lib import is now from sty.lib import.
More and better doc-strings. help(x) should be much more useful now.
Other:
Add svg logo. Thanks! @kubinka0505
Replace pipenv with poetry.
Remove make.py build system.
Remove all dev dependencies.
Description
Sty’s goal is to provide Python with a simple, customizable and performant string styling markup, which is decoupled from color palettes and terminal implementations.
Sty supports 3/4bit, 8bit and 24bit (truecolor/RGB) colors as well as effects like bold, italic, underline, etc.
Sty should work on most Unix platforms with most terminals. It works with recent Windows terminals. Window legacy terminal (cmd) needs a shim to work.
Sty comes with default color palettes and renderers, but you can easily replace/customize them, without touching the markup in your code.
Sty allows you to mute/unmute all styles in your codebase.
Sty provides high access performance for all styling rules.
Sty is fully typed, you should get good editor support for it.
Sty does not implicitly mess with globals. E.g.: colorama overrides sys.stdout which causes a lot of trouble.
Sty has no dependencies.
Sty follows semver.
Sty will support Python >=3.7 for as long as possible.
If you run into compatibility problems with sty, please file an issue!
Code Example
from sty import fg, bg, ef, rs
foo = fg.red + 'This is red text!' + fg.rs
bar = bg.blue + 'This has a blue background!' + bg.rs
baz = ef.italic + 'This is italic text' + rs.italic
qux = fg(201) + 'This is pink text using 8bit colors' + fg.rs
qui = fg(255, 10, 10) + 'This is red text using 24bit colors.' + fg.rs
# Add custom colors:
from sty import Style, RgbFg
fg.orange = Style(RgbFg(255, 150, 50))
buf = fg.orange + 'Yay, Im orange.' + fg.rs
print(foo, bar, baz, qux, qui, buf, sep='\n')
The code above will print like this in the terminal:
You can use the Register class or the default registers FgRegister, BgRegister, EfRegister and RsRegister to create your own registers:
# Extending the default FgRegister
from sty import FgRegister, Style, RgbFg, Sgr
class MyFgRegister(FgRegister):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.purple = Style(Sgr(35))
self.blue = Style(Sgr(34))
self.orange = Style(RgbFg(255, 128, 0))
# ...
fg = MyFgRegister()
