python kata problem: Color not working

When I try to run the python koans, I don't get the colors, instead I get the ANSI color codes. I want to get the colors. It seems to be using colorama under the hood. I try to run colorama sample code in the interpeter and get syntax errors and/or assert errors.

Second if can't fix first: How do I get to strip out the ansi color codes. I tried various values of strip=True开发者_StackOverflow中文版, and Convert=False to no avail.

Please help.

Sorry about that!

The ansi colors are a very recent feature, and I haven't got around to adding a command line option to turn it off yet. Its coming very soon though!

In the meantime taking a slightly older version would get around the problem. Here's how you can do it through mercurial:

hg clone https://gregmalcolm@bitbucket.org/gregmalcolm/python_koans
hg update -r 80

and this should work for git:

git clone http://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans
git checkout -b nocolor a410591b5aaeec57a4a8

This is actually the first complaint I've had of the color not working. What OS/terminal are you running from?
