This goes away when I downgrade ansicolors to 1.0.2.

Hmm, looks like https://github.com/jonathaneunice/colors/blob/master/colors/colors.py#L109 should be a unicode literal to work properly on Python2?

[exarkun]

Seems plausible - but the docstring for color makes it unclear whether the function is meant to operate on bytes or unicode.

[exarkun]

otoh, reading the return docs suggests yes it should work on unicode.

[exarkun]

Merely changing that string to a unicode literal will break usage like color(encoded_utf8_bytes) though. Really, "bytes or unicode" is not a happy type to have to work with.

[meejah]

Looks to me like this was unintended fallout from this commit: jonathaneunice/colors@67dd97f#diff-3358adf77afc6138373d66e0d18cd3b6L101

...because: str + unicode + str will be a unicode, but str.format(unicode) will not be...

[meejah]

"Yes" to your last comment. Hmm... I'll file an issue on colors and see what we come up with? But this will just not work, ever: "something {}".format(u"\u258f") and yeah the docstring says I should be able to give it a unicode string and get a unicode back...

[meejah]

Hmm, maybe @jonathaneunice can comment here? It seems colors isn't using the github bugtracker (and I don't see any other thing being used).

[meejah]

I guess for now I can pin cuvner to 1.0.2

[meejah]

Okay, I did that and released 17.3.0
