Plain text files don't have color. You could output in html ...

Oh ok what about a csv file, I know its also a text file but I want
the color to be say blue in an excel sheet.

You can use ANSI escape codes -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
ANSI_escape_code:

colorCodes = [
"\033[0mAll attributes off\033[0m",
"\033[1mBold\033[0m",
"\033[4mUnderline\033[0m",
"\033[5mBlink\033[0m",
"\033[8mHide\033[0m",
"\033[30mBlack\033[0m",
"\033[31mRed\033[0m",
"\033[32mGreen\033[0m",
"\033[33mYellow\033[0m",
"\033[34mBlue\033[0m",
"\033[35mMagenta\033[0m",
"\033[36mCyan\033[0m",
"\033[37mWhite\033[0m",
"\033[40m\033[37mBlack Background\033[0m",
"\033[41mRed Background\033[0m",
"\033[42mGreen Background\033[0m",
"\033[43mYellow Background\033[0m",
"\033[44mBlue Background\033[0m",
"\033[45mMagenta Background\033[0m",
"\033[46mCyan Background\033[0m",
"\033[47mWhite Background\033[0m"
]

for i in colorCodes:
print i

hth,

CSV is also pretty much plain text. No support for formatting.

You will need to write xls files. Personaly, I avoid proprietary file
formats like the plague, but this may be what you're looking for:

You can use ANSI escape codes -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
ANSI_escape_code:

Unfortunately, most versions of Windows of the last 7 years
(2000, XP, probably Vista) don't support ANSI escape codes well
enough to work with Python.

The PyRTF module supports colored text, and RTF is portable
(mostly).
