in that it will try its best to not fail. As of Click 6.0 this includes support for unicode output on the Windows console. In addition to that, if `colorama`_ is installed, the echo function will also support clever handling of ANSI codes. Essentially it will then do the following: - add transparent handling of ANSI color codes on Windows. - hide ANSI codes automatically if the destination file is not a terminal. .. _colorama: https://pypi.org/project/colorama/ .. versionchanged:: 6.0 As of Click 6.0 the echo function will properly support unicode output on the windows console. Not that click does not modify the interpreter in any way which means that `sys.stdout` or the print statement or function will still not provide unicode support. .. versionchanged:: 2.0 Starting with version 2.0 of Click, the echo function will work with colorama if it's installed. .. versionadded:: 3.0 The `err` parameter was added. .. versionchanged:: 4.0 Added the `color` flag. :param message: the message to print :param file: the file to write to (defaults to ``stdout``) :param err: if set to true the file defaults to ``stderr`` instead of ``stdout``. This is faster and easier than calling :func:`get_text_stderr` yourself. :param nl: if set to `True` (the default) a newline is printed afterwards. :param color: controls if the terminal supports ANSI colors or not. The default is autodetection. Nr3
