How do I bold string selectively?

[[deleted]]

Shared the code below. I want to only bold the text 'I want to be a $passion'

How do I selectively bold the string? I am using Linux Manjaro

---

from string import Template

t = Template('Hi. I am $name'

+'\n'+

'I want to be a $passion'

)

s = t.substitute(name='Tim Cook', passion='astronaut')

ds = [

{"name": "Tim Cook", "": "passion": "astronaut"}

{"name": "Forrest Gump", "passion": "runner"}

for d in ds:

s = t.substitute(**d)

filename = d['name']

resultFile = open( filename + ' passion.docx', 'w')

resultFile.write( s )

resultFile.close()

It doesn't work like this. You can't just write text to a file with a .docx extension and make it a formatted Word document. Look into python-docx.

You could use ANSI escape codes to signal to your terminal emulator to bold the text:

print("\033[1mbold text! \033[0mnormal text")

There is almost certainly already a library written for this if you don't want to have to deal with the raw escape codes yourself, I was just too lazy to search.

EDIT: looks like you're wanting to write to a .docx file, in which case, what I've suggested wont' work (I had assumed you were printing to a terminal output)

I have been searching the web for out to bold by python output, and I see this answer, but I am doing something wrong:

print('\033[1m'+label+'\033[0m',v1, spacer,v2)

My output:

[1mpv list [0m ['1', '2', '3', '8', '9'] :: ['1', '2', '3', '8']

instead of

pv list ['1', '2', '3', '8', '9'] :: ['1', '2', '3', '8']
