title: Python: How can I make the ANSI escape codes to work also in Windows?
body: <p>If I run this in python under linux it works:
  </p>
  
  <pre><code>start = "\033[1;31m"
  end = "\033[0;0m"
  print "File is: " + start + "&lt;placeholder&gt;" + end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I run it in Windows it doesn't work, how can I make the ANSI escape codes work also on Windows? </p>
