red_sym

✓ from bx_py_utils import red_sym

✗ from bx_py_utils import red_sym

Import and use color utilities. The NO_COLOR environment variable disables ANSI coloring.

from bx_py_utils import red_sym, green_sym print(red_sym('Error')) # prints red colored text with '✘' symbol print(green_sym('OK')) # prints green colored text with '✔' symbol # Output without colors (e.g., in CI): import os os.environ['NO_COLOR'] = '1' print(red_sym('still plain text')) # no coloring

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe version number is an integer (118) incremented for every release, not semantic versioning. Breaking changes can occur at any minor bump.

fix

Pin to a specific version and review changelog before upgrading.

affects: all

gotchaSome utilities rely on optional dependencies like Django, colorama. Missing them causes ImportError at runtime if you directly access submodules.

fix

Install extra dependencies: pip install bx-py-utils[django,colorama] or handle missing imports gracefully.

affects: all

deprecatedThe function `bx_py_utils.HTMLRenderer` is deprecated in favor of Django's native template rendering.

fix

Use Django's `django.template.loader.render_to_string` instead.
