(PYTHON 3) Is there a way to surpass the 100 KB limit, and if not, what are some text color modules?

Question

Recently, I have been working on a project that is now >100 kilobytes in size. I can't find a way to go past this limit, so I have tried switching to IDLE. Colorama, the module I am using to change the color of printed text, does not work on IDLE. Is there any way I can a) continue using onlinegdb with a file larger than 100 KB, b) learn about a text color changing module that works with IDLE, or c) learn about a new compiler that has a higher size limit and works with Colorama? Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

well, the 100kb limit is set by the website platform, however you can attempt to upload your input file to the internet and read it using directly from python (usable libraries: urllib)  read more on: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22676/how-do-i-download-a-file-over-http-using-python

import urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.example.com/') as f:
    html = f.read().decode('utf-8')

 and here is a vast explaination about coloring your CLI (also works on GDB) output: https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/BuildyourownCommandLinewithANSIescapecodes.html

WARNING: won't work on the pythons IDLE

quick example: run this:

 print ("\u001b[31mHelloWorld")
