    Most (or all) of these methods make use of ANSI escape sequences.

    Straight-up
    -----------

    For example, using a dictionary:

    ```
    ansi = {'underline': '\033[4m', 'bold': '\033[1m', 'end':'\033[0m'}
    print '{[bold]}Hello World{[end]}'.format(ansi, ansi)
    ```

    Or you can also create a class with enable/disable methods:

    ```
    class bcolors:
    HEADER = '\033[95m'
    OKBLUE = '\033[94m'
    OKGREEN = '\033[92m'
    WARNING = '\033[93m'
    FAIL = '\033[91m'
    ENDC = '\033[0m'
    def disable(self):
    self.HEADER = ''
    self.OKBLUE = ''
    self.OKGREEN = ''
    self.WARNING = ''
    self.FAIL = ''
    self.ENDC = ''
    print '{.HEADER}Hello World{.ENDC}'.format(bcolors, bcolors)
    ```

    This will work on *NIX, MacOS, and Windows (provided you enable [ansi.sys](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/101875)). There are ANSI codes for setting the colour, moving the cursor, and more.
