ansiStylingArgument

Almost every command line tool that supports ANSI coloring and styling provides command line argument to control whether this coloring/styling should be forcefully enabled or disabled.

argparse provides ansiStylingArgument function that returns an object which allows checking the status of styling/coloring. This function adds a command line argument that can have one of these values:

• always or no value - coloring/styling should be enabled.

• never - coloring/styling should be disabled.

• auto - in this case, argparse will try to detect whether ANSI coloring/styling is supported by a system.

See ANSI coloring and styling for details.
