code, but it doesn't change the color.
No. ANSI escapes don't work on Windows. Depending on where
you want to go, you can look at the win32console module [1]
of the pywin32 package [2] or Fredrik Lundh's console [3]
module or Chris Gonnerman's wconio [4].

Thanks Tim G. and Alan G.
I will check these four options out. Hopefully they won't be to difficult
to incorporate into my beginner level programming :)
Thanks to all for your help. It definitely makes a difference having this
great support.
