Gilles,
This test works ok for me. Which version of python are you using?
Was it built under cygwin? If not, you should build it for cygwin.
Search the mailing list on how to do this.
Python 2.0 (#2, Jan 15 2001, 14:22:08)
[GCC 2.95.2-6 19991024 (cygwin experimental)] on cygwin_nt-4.01
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> RED = chr(27) + '[31m'
>>> print RED + 'hello world in red'
hello world in red
HTH,
