Python: How to print the value of variable in color

I am aware of printing the statements in color. Eg:

"\033[34mHow are you ? \033[0m" -> This will print the statement in blue color.

But what if the string is stored in a variable, and then I need to print the value of the variable in color.

string= "How are you?"

print string

In the above case, I need when the value of string is printed, the output is in blue color.

import os
os.system("")
message='How are you?'
print('\033[0;32m'+message+'\033[0m')

Output:

How are you? (it will be print in green color)

You could use formated strings (old-style) like:

colors = {'reset':'\033[0m', 'blue':'\033[34m'}
person = 'you'
formattext = 'How are %s%s%s' %(colors['blue'], person, colors['reset'])

%s defines a string place-holder see: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting

You could just concat the colour sections of the String together when printing your string like so:

string = "How are you?" 
print "\033[34m" + string + "\033[0m"
