style
=====

|Build Status| |PyPI version|

**style** is a simple terminal string styling library. Its API is a port of the popular
`chalk <https://github.com/chalk/chalk>`__ module for javascript.


Install
-------

::

    $ pip install style


Usage
-----

.. code:: py

    import style

    print(style.red('Hello', style.bold('world') + '!'))


API
---

style.\ ``style*[.style](*objects, sep=' ')``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chain `styles <#styles>`__ and call the last one as a method with an argument. Order doesn't matter, and later styles
take precedence in case of a conflict, e.g. ``style.red.yellow.green`` is equivalent to ``style.green``. Styles can
be nested.

Multiple arguments will be separated by ``sep``, a space by default.

style.\ ``enabled``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Color support is automatically detected, but can also be changed manually.

- set ``style.enabled`` to ``True`` or ``False``
- use the command line parameter ``--color`` or ``--no-color``
