Just starting out as a beginner in Python. I am currently learning the language through a book called "Breaking Ciphers with Python". As part of a basic encryption program, I have written the following code snippet (this is just the beginning):
import pyperclip
fg = lambda text, color: "\33[38;5;" + str(color) + "m" + text + "\33[0m"
bg = lambda text, color: "\33[48;5;" + str(color) + "m" + text + "\33[0m"
# Simple usage: print(fg("text", 160))
msg = input('\n\nEnter your secret:\n\n')
msg_len_int = len(msg)
msg_len_str = str(len(msg))
print('\n\nChoose key (must be less than', fg((msg_len_str), 40), '): ')
key = input('\n\nChoose your here: ')
When executed, the output looks like this:

I'm puzzled by the presence of two space characters that I did not include - one before and one after fg((msg_len_str), 40).
