[Tutor] Print to std output with color

[Scott Nelson]

Curses is one way to go.  Another is to use the PyWin32 module discussed in
this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.tutor/58450/focus=58454

Basically, here's a snippet of code that can get you started.  This requires
that you have the PyWin32 module installed (already installed by default if
you use ActiveState's Python distribution for Windows).  Using PyWin32 isn't
for the faint of heart, but it does work.

import win32console
handle = win32console.GetStdHandle(win32console.STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
handle.SetConsoleTextAttribute(win32console.FOREGROUND_BLUE)
print 'blue text'
