Highlight specific words in a sentence in python

Question

I have some text, and I want to highlight specific words. I wrote a script to loop through the words and highlight the desired text, but how do I set this up to return it to sentences?

from termcolor import colored

text = 'left foot right foot left foot right. Feet in the day, feet at night.'
l1 = ['foot', 'feet']
for t in text.lower().split():
    if t in l1:
        print(colored(t, 'white', 'on_red'))
    else: print(t)

In the above example, I want to end up with an output of two sentences, not a list of all the words, with relevant words highlighted

Answer 1

Use str.join

Ex:

from termcolor import colored
text='left foot right foot left foot right. Feet in the day, feet at night.'
l1=['foot','feet']
result = " ".join(colored(t,'white','on_red') if t in l1 else t for t in text.lower().split())
print(result)
