Colored Horizontal Rule For Terminal

Project description

Tired of destroying the Enter key by creating a “void zone” in your terminal so that you can see the error that you’re trying to debug? If yes, this is for you. termrule allows you to create colored horizontal rule in terminal. Use it in place of the old <hr /> tag in terminal. This script is inspired from hr.py by euangoddard.

Installation:

$ pip install termrule

Supported Colors:

Below is the list of all color names you can use, if an invalid color is entered, an InvalidColorException will be raised.

  • grey

  • red

  • green

  • yellow

  • blue

  • magenta

  • cyan

  • white

Usage:

The color parameter is optional, if it is not passed, then the default termina color will be used.

Command Line:

usage: tr [-h] [--color COLOR] symbol [symbol ...]

positional arguments:
  symbol         Symbol for horizontal line

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --color COLOR  Color of the line
$ tr "#"
#################################### # Till the end of terminal

$ tr "#-#"
#-##-##-##-##-##-##-##-##-##-##-##- # Till the end of termnial

$ tr "@" --color red
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ # Till the end of terminal in red color

Script:

>>> from tr import TermRule
>>> r = TermRule()
>>> r.tr(["#", "-"], color="cyan")
##################################### # Till the end of terminal in cyan color
-------------------------------------
>>> r.tr(["^"])
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # Till the end of terminal in default color
>>> r.tr(["@-@"])

Dependencies:

termcolor is the only dependency; it is used for colored outputs, and I hope you know that python 2.7 is also required (isn’t that obvious?)
