ANSI reset code is printed on Windows on program exit

[msiemens]

Given the following Python file:

import colorama
colorama.init()

Running it results in this:

C:\Users\markus\tmp>python test.py
←[0m
C:\Users\markus\tmp>

This is the result of running initialise.reset_all when exiting the script. The AnsiToWin32 instance that is created isn't instructed to convert ANSI codes, so it just prints the ANSI reset code.

This seems to be related to your issue, #48. It doesn't happen on environments without TERM set...

I see that TERM causes problems for some users, and I'm trying to think if there's a way to change this. It's necessary to make colorama work on terminal emulators under Windows. Why do you have TERM set on cmd?

Oh, that's interesting. Then my patch in #50 is propably wrong as the problem seems to be in another place. I'll try to debug this in the next days.

Why do you have TERM set on cmd?

For me, I happened to have TERM set because otherwise git would complain about the terminal not being fully functional (see for example http://stackoverflow.com/q/7949956/997063).

No TERM variable set for me, and I have the same problem (in both cmd and Powershell).

After some tests, it seems that deinit() of colorama is happening before reset_all() which means that the reset code will be output directly to the terminal.
