Description: 
        colorize.py
        ==================
        
        There is at least one `existing tool`_ to perform automatic syntax highlighting
        of code and output ANSI escape sequences.  Unfortunately, to the best of the
        author's knowledge, there is no existing tool for highlighting lines of log
        files that contain a particular pattern.  Vim's ``match`` and ``2match`` are
        close, but a little kludgy to use.
        
        The purpose of this tool is to colorize lines matching a particular pattern, to
        make it easier to highlight relevant lines in a log file, when poring over such
        files with your coworker or manager.
        
        Usage
        ==================
        
        
        Assume we have a file with the following contents::
        
            This is an interesting line with some awesome content.
            unrelated line
            unrelated line
            unrelated line
            foobar
            Different topic of interest
            unrelated line
        
        Then we can run the following commands to see some of effects we want::
        
            colorize.py -h
            colorize.py -l
            colorize.py -f 'This is an interesting line=Blue' Input.log
            colorize.py -f 'This is an interesting line=Blue' -f 'Different topic=Red' Input.log
        
            # Note that we must run less in raw node to see the colors.
            colorize.py -f 'This is an interesting line=Blue' | less -R
