Is it possible to output error messages in a different color?

print "\033[1;31mHello\033[0m There!"

Also, you might look at sys.excepthook to colorize an uncaught exception,
and PYTHONSTARTUP to load code automagically before an interactive
session.

For the few times that I want to do this, this simple form works with
xterm.
for j in range(1,10):
os.system("tput setaf "+str(j))
print "test for ", j

I've just discovered ipython - An Enhanced Interactive Python, which
among other things colorizes output including error codes
