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 requires Python >= 3.7.
This is free and open source software.
- Supports 3/4bit, 8bit and 24bit (truecolor/RGB) colors as well as effects like bold, italic, underline, etc.
- Works with most Linux terminals. It works with recent Windows terminals. Window legacy terminal (cmd) needs a shim to work.
- Comes with default color palettes and renderers, but you can easily replace/customize them, without touching the markup in your code.
- Mute/unmute all styles in your codebase.
- Provides high access performance for all styling rules.
- Fully typed, you should get good editor support for it.
- Does not implicitly mess with globals. E.g.: colorama overrides sys.stdout which causes a lot of trouble.
- No dependencies.
- Follows semver.
