Slightly related to #399, but also different.
Note that the default text color goes black even after the pytest process exits.
Thusfar, I've only been able to replicate the problem on Python 3.4.0b3. I have not been able to replicate the issue on Python 3.3. The problem does occur on a vanilla cmd.exe process as well as an ANSI terminal. The problem only occurs if pyreadline is installed and if doctests are invoked. Remove pyreadline or eliminate or disable doctests, and the process completes without any color issues. The presence or absence of colorama has no effect (invoking "py -m pytest" allows the tests to run without requiring colorama to be installed).
I've tried disabling much of the doctest output-related functionality in _pytest.doctest, but that had no effect.
I've completely cleaned my environment so there's no funny business with other libraries:
>>> sys.path
['', 'c:\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-2.2-py3.4.egg', 'c:\\users\\jaraco\\projects\\public\\pytest', 'c:\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\colorama-0.2.7-py3.4.egg', 'c:\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\py-1.4.20-py3.4.egg', 'c:\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\pyreadline-2.0-py3.4-win-amd64.egg', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\python34.zip', 'c:\\python\\DLLs', 'c:\\python\\lib', 'c:\\python', 'C:\\Users\\jaraco\\AppData\\Roaming\\Python\\Python34\\site-packages', 'c:\\python\\lib\\site-packages']
So the problem appears to be associated with Python 3.4.
Would someone please try replicating this issue in Python 3.4 in your Windows environment?
