with open('input.ans', 'rt', encoding='cp437') as f:
decoder = ANSIDecoder(f)
print(decoder.as_html())
class ansipants.ANSIDecoder(stream=None, width=80, strict=False)
Parameters:
stream- the ANSI input data as a file-like object. This should be opened for reading in text mode, which means you'll need to specify the appropriate encoding - for ANSI art created for DOS this will most likely becp437.width- the number of columns the text should wrap atstrict- If True, the decoder will raise anansipants.ANSIDecodeErrorexception on any unrecognised or malformed escape codes; if False, it will skip past them.
