It lets you build styled terminal output by composing color and effect objects, either as a sequence of strings to join or through a functional syntax where colors wrap text as callables.\n\nThe package supports standard ANSI colors (foreground and background), text effects (reset, bold, etc.), and 256-color RGB mode for finer color control. It offers both British and American English module names (ansi.colour and ansi.color). With only typing-extensions as a dependency and a pure-Python wheel, it installs with minimal friction and works on any Python 3.6+ environment with a terminal that understands ANSI codes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need ANSI terminal styling in a CLI tool or script. The package is lightweight, has no security issues, and carries a permissive license. Its dormant maintenance is not a blocker for stable, narrow functionality like ANSI code generation, but verify that the codes work reliably with your target terminals before relying on it for critical output."},"id":"ansi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ansi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ansi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ANSI cursor movement and graphics"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103553,"position":12799,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.7"}
