Python-color-print-V2

A Python function to print colored text to the console using advanced terminal colors.

Function Signature

def print_Color(Input: str, print_END: str = '\n', start_char: str = '<', end_char: str = '>'):

Parameters

• Input (str): The input string to be printed. '' is used to specify the color of the following text.
• print_END (str): The string appended after the final output. Default is '\n'.
• start_char (str): The character used as the start of the color specifier. Default is '<'.
• end_char (str): The character used as the end of the color specifier. Default is '>'.

Usage

you can print a string in color. For example:

print_Color('<green>Hello, World!')

This will print 'Hello, World!' in green.

Or like:

print_Color('hello <red>hello in red <green>hello in green')

Special Characters

The '<>' characters are used as separators for different parts of the string that need to be printed in different colors when using advanced mode.
