🔒 Python Curses (ANSI Art File)

[regal patio]

How do you open an ansi art file (.ans).

I’ve manage to display content in the screen, but it doesn’t seem to know what to do with the ansi color escape codes?

How can I do this?

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You might have to use a package like colorama which makes ansi escape sequences work

!pypi colorama

colorama v0.4.6

Cross-platform colored terminal text.

ok so you're using windows?

[regal patio]

Linux. Sorry forgot to add that detail.

Colorama should work still.

Try that

Okay will do.

I actually just ran into the issue but I'm using Windows (which is why I asked). Luckily Colorama is cross-platform though.

I’ll have to see how it works after I import it. Sounds like it will just work after that. Gotta try this tomorrow.
