[issue30075] Printing ANSI Escape Sequences on Windows 10

[Tithen Firion]

New submission from Tithen Firion:

Windows 10 supports ANSI Escape Sequences ( http://stackoverflow.com/a/38617204/2428152 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt638032(v=vs.85).aspx ) but Python just prints escape character. Adding `subprocess.call('', shell=True)` before printing solved the issue.

Test code:

    import subprocess
    print('\033[0;31mTEST\033[0m')
    subprocess.call('', shell=True)
    print('\033[0;31mTEST\033[0m')

output in attachment.

Haven't tested it on other Python versions but it probably occurs on them too.
