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()
