Well, since you say so... :)

simple:
bright = '\27[1m'
red = '\27[31m'
...
reset = '\27[m'
----
print(red, "text", reset)


more simple:
print "\27[1;31mBAD HAPPEN!\27[m"

Actually, most of the time writing escapes inline is much easier than  
using a library. And since Lua accepts control characters inside quotes,  
you actually can type ^[ character instead of \27 (when writing with e.g.  
vim or emacs) and then using "less -R" you can see your code in full color.
