Python Hello World App

This is a simple Python application that prints a colorful "Hello, World!" message using the termcolor library.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x

Virtual Environment Setup

It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies for this project. Here's how to set it up:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate
     

   • On macOS and Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate
     

4. Your prompt should change to indicate that the virtual environment is active.

Setup

1. Clone this repository or download the source code.

2. Activate the virtual environment as described above.

3. Install the required package using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Running the Application

To run the Hello World application, make sure your virtual environment is activated, then use the following command in your terminal:

python hello_world.py

You should see a colorful "Hello, World!" message printed in your terminal.

What it does

The application uses the termcolor library to print "Hello, World!" in green text with a blue background and bold formatting.

File Structure

• hello_world.py: The main Python script that prints the Hello World message.
• requirements.txt: Lists the required Python packages (termcolor in this case).
• README.md: This file, containing instructions and information about the project.

Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you're done working on the project, you can deactivate the virtual environment by running:

deactivate

This will return you to your global Python environment.
