That’s where Blessings comes in.
Blessings is a small Python library that gives you control over your terminal. You can add color, format your text, and position things on the screen in a way that actually makes sense.

Imagine you’re subscribed to a newsletter called 3 Randoms. Each week, it introduces you to three lesser-known Python tools that can make your coding better. It’s like expanding your toolbox and discovering new tricks.
It’s a simple way to improve how your programs communicate with you. Instead of dumping plain text into the terminal, you can highlight what matters, organize your output, and make everything easier to scan.
It’s one of those tools you don’t think about at first, but once you try it, you don’t want to go back.
I’ve written plenty of scripts where the output gets out of control. Logs everywhere, prints stacked on top of each other, no structure at all.
Blessings fixes that without adding complexity. It just gives you straightforward control over how things look.
What I like most is how lightweight it is. You’re not pulling in a big framework just to style your output. You import it, use a few simple methods, and you’re done.
In this article, I’ll walk you through a few practical things you can do with Blessings. We’ll keep it simple and focused on real examples you can use right away.
Start by installing it:
pip3 install blessingsThen run your code and finally enjoy looking at your terminal output.
