Description : Cross-platform colored terminal text.
Makes ANSI escape character sequences, for producing colored terminal
text and cursor positioning, work under MS Windows.
ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored
terminal text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes
this work on Windows, too. It also provides some shortcuts to help
generate ANSI sequences, and works fine in conjunction with any other
ANSI sequence generation library, such as Termcolor
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/termcolor.)
This has the upshot of providing a simple cross-platform API for
printing colored terminal text from Python, and has the happy
side-effect that existing applications or libraries which use ANSI
sequences to produce colored output on Linux or Macs can now also work
on Windows, simply by calling ``colorama.init()``.
Demo scripts in the source code repository prints some colored text
using ANSI sequences. Compare their output under Gnome-terminal's built
in ANSI handling, versus on Windows Command-Prompt using Colorama:

:alt: Same ANSI sequences on Windows, using Colorama.
These screengrabs show that Colorama on Windows does not support ANSI
'dim text': it looks the same as 'normal text'.
