To make the ANSI colors used in termcolor work with the windows terminal, you'll need to also import/init colorama;

>>> from termcolor import *
>>> cprint('hello', 'red')
←[31mhello←[0m
>>> import colorama
>>> colorama.init()
>>> cprint('hello', 'red')
hello                                    <-- in red color
>>>

I found a way in colored switch parameter force_color to True

such as

print(colored('answer' , 'red' , None , None , no_color = False , force_color = True))

My guess is that you probably have two versions of Python or downloaded the wrong module.

1)Wrong Module:

pip install term color

It will install a different module. To fix it, install the correct module:

pip install termcolor

2)Two-Versions

If you have two versions of Python, you need to specify it:

i)Two versions of Python 3:

If you two versions of Python3, specify:

pip3.x install termcolor

ii)If you have Python 2 installed:

If you have Python 2 and 3 installed, specify it, as pip works for Python2, and pip3 works for Python 3:

pip3 install termcolor

If you have only Python3, or in simple words only one version of Python, You can follow the first instruction.

try this code in print:

print(colored(f"[{i}]", 'blue','on_white',['blink'],force_color='True'), end=end)

See this stackOverflow post.

It basically says that in order to get the escape sequences working in Windows, you need to run os.system('color') first.

For example:

import termcolor
import os
os.system('color')
print(termcolor.colored("Stack Overflow", "green")

I usually get these errors if I install in the wrong directory or run from the wrong directory or if I don't use sudo

$home : install apt pythonstuff.py $home: ls pythonstuff.py User $home: cd User $home/user: pythonstuff.py pythonstuff.py could not be found

Gotta go back to home and run it from there, as sudo
