The Python console looks pretty dull, doesn't it?
Well, I know a way you can add style to the Python Console...

Introduction
Setting it up
Some fonts in PyFiglet
Conclusion
Introduction
The PyFiglet modules takes ASCII text and converts it to cool ASCII art fonts. The function Figlet in the PyFiglet module is used to set a font, so you can easily render it.
Setting it up
The command to install the PyFiglet module is:
pip install pyfiglet
Then, wherever you are writing your code, import PyFiglet, by doing what it shows below:
import pyfiglet
To set up your font, you have to do the code below, obviously replacing the [font_name] with an actual font name in PyFiglet:
f = Figlet(font='[font_name]')
The font argument is optional, and if you don't mention it when declaring the argument, your class called f will have the standard font.
To show your text with the ASCII art fonts, you will have to use the function renderText in the class f, like below:
print(f.renderText('looks cool'))
Some fonts in PyFiglet
There are 425 different fonts in PyFiglet, and you can see all their names by doing the code below:
from pyfiglet import FigletFont
print(FigletFont.getFonts())
But to save you some time, I'm going to go through the fonts in PyFiglet which I think stand out.
standard
The standard is one of the best fonts, especially if it's the first ASCII art font you see.

Conclusion
The Python console can look a bit dull sometimes, but if you add in some effort, you can make it look great!
Hope you enjoyed reading this and learnt something new.
CAN YOU FIND WHICH FONTS ARE BEING USED IN THE HEADERS???

How did you skip the .vulcanwm.repl.co and just do ovaleyes.repl.co?
I got a team called OvalEyes, and have the actual code in OvalEyes/OvalEyes repl
Can this print with color, too?
yup, you just gotta add the ascii codes for the colours
