Hi, can you elaborate better what the issue is please? are you trying to use a single quote as a flag? or what are you trying to achieve? thanks!

im trying show message with quote as a flag

[edraobdu]

Not quite understanding what the issue is, can you add an example or a code snippet showing what you trying to acomplish, please?

Not sure why you're trying to add a single quote as a flag, flags define the cors you want to use, and the quotes are not one of them.

Hi @koshak01,

Again, thanks for reporting this. I've investigated the error and I think there might be some confusion about how printy works.

Quotes can already be used in your text without any issues:

from printy import printy

# These all work fine:
printy("It's a nice day")
printy('She said "hello"')
printy("Here's some text with ''' triple quotes")
printy("[rB]It's red and bold text@")

The error you're seeing (''' is not a valid flag) happens when you try to use quotes as a flag (the second parameter), like this:

printy("text", "'''")  # ✗ This fails - quotes aren't valid flags

Flags are for formatting (colors and styles), not for displaying characters. Valid flags are:

• Colors: r (red), b (blue), n (green), y (yellow), etc.
• Formats: B (bold), U (underline), I (italic), etc.

Could you please share a complete code example of what you're trying to do? That way I can better understand your use case and help you achieve what you need.

Thanks!
