Which gives me an idea that IPython could do colors if you are interested
in. Namely you can send colored (+ bolded + underlined + stroked +
background colored) output to terminal using ANSI color escape
sequences.
I got the idea from
  http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/ansistyle/
but didn't use this ansistyle module because it was to fancy for my apps.
Anyway, try

print '\x1b[1;32m%s\x1b[0m'% ('Hello, I am bold green')
print '\x1b[1;41m%s\x1b[0m'% ('Hello, I am bold white on red background')
print '\x1b[4;31m%s\x1b[0m'% ('Hello, I am underlined red')

to get an idea.
