Thanks for the gist, well done!
On my terminal (gnome 3.4.1.1) white you specified in the color_map is 'normal white' but not the one the terminal actually uses ('bright white'), so I had to change in the color_map to 'white':9 instead of original 7. Value 9 should mean the default text color.

After switching from win7 64bit to win8 64bit the following ctypes declaration was needed:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTextAttribute.argtypes = [ctypes.c_ulong, ctypes.c_ushort]

for python3 support:

import sys
if os.name != 'nt':
    def output_colorized(self, message):
        if sys.version[0] == '2':
            self.stream.write(message)
        else:
            self.stream.write(message.decode())

For Win10 color support, I found a flush was needed:

diff --git a/ansistrm.py b/ansistrm.py

Seems like info doesnt print on python3
