The .prompt_theme.py Python3 script was tested with:
- Linux kernel 5.4.0-14-generic
- Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) (development branch)
- Python 3.8.2rc1 (Feb 12 2020)
- GNU Bash 5.0.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Append the following lines to your Bash run commands file:
export TERM=xterm-256color;
export PROMPT_COMMAND='PS1="$(python3 -s /home/foo/scripts/prompt_theme/.prompt_theme.py)"'export TERM=xterm-256color; is mainly for xterm to handle 256 colors. The value of the variable PROMPT_COMMAND is examined just before Bash prints each primary prompt.
Those exports can also be found in the .prompt_theme.sh dot file.
RGB_COLORS contains color names with their semicolon-separated RGB values:

prompt_theme() method opens colors.csv and themes.csv databases. Then creates CSV readers with them, which are iterated through to generate both RGB_COLORS and RGB_THEMES dictionaries. See above.
dt = datetime.today() assigns a datetime object which will be used to get current month and day.
_month = dt.month assigns the current month number value.
