Currently, text colors do not render if using
bandit
in a Windows terminal interface (both PowerShell and CMD).Example:
This PR resolves that issue by patching stdout using
colorama
when running on Windows. Colorama will intercept any ANSI escape codes and convert them to the proper Windows console API calls to change text color (as far as I understand it at least, I'm not a colorama developer).Example with the fix applied:
Caveats: this adds a dependency on
