Just messing around with output.py, have to point out that this will not work on windows simply because linux and windows consoles work differently, instead of printing a new color in windows it simple prints the color code followed by the content and the color codes escape sequence, which in linux would cause colored output.
I dont know if it is possible to get colored output on windows, but if somone takes the time to write the modules i'm sure that this would be included in the Python standard lib!
glad that you found it telex,
