Currently, IPA has no way how to leverage ASCII formatting escape codes (e.g. colors, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors ).
This could be fairly easily done by integrating an existing python module that provides this functionality, e.g. blessings:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blessings/
This way we would not have to bother with terminal compatibility, output redirection, pipes, etc. Usage could boil down to something as simple as:
from blessings import Terminal term = Terminal() print('I am', term.bold('bold') + '!')
I am bold!
It would be great if the package is packaged in the main platforms before we start using it.
