[New-bugs-announce] [issue26364] pip uses colour in messages that does not work on white terminals

[Barry Scott]

New submission from Barry Scott:

pip3 (3.5 on Mac OS X) is outputting a message in yellow that I can barely see on a white background terminal.

"You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command."

I suggest that pip only uses text output. But if the pip developers insist on using colour then set both foreground and background colours.
