What it is

Rich is a Python library that enables developers to render styled, colored, and complex terminal output—tables, progress bars, markdown, syntax-highlighted code, tracebacks—without manual ANSI escape sequence handling. It abstracts terminal capabilities (True Color, emoji support, width detection) and provides high-level APIs for beautiful CLI formatting across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Single-package structure with rich/ as the main module directory. Documentation lives in Sphinx format (Makefile, asv.conf.json for benchmarks). Assets in assets/ and imgs/ for logo/demo screenshots. Tests inferred from codecov badge presence. No monorepo—clean single-library design focused on terminal…

Start here

Read these in order:

  • rich/_loop.py — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 12 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • rich/color_triplet.py — Foundation: imported by 5, no internal dependencies of its own.
  • rich/_emoji_replace.py — Built on the foundation; imported by 3 downstream files.
  • tests/test_tools.py — Built on the foundation; imported by 0 downstream files.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/Textualize/rich.git
cd rich
poetry install

Poetry is the package manager (poetry.lock present). Verify Python 3.8+ installed (per README compatibility claim).

Daily commands:

Development: make or make.bat (Windows). Run tests inferred from Makefile presence. Actual commands not visible in provided snippets—check Makefile contents and CONTRIBUTING.md for exact test, lint, and demo command…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 93% of recent commits
  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
    1. Terminal detection: Rich adapts output based on detected terminal capabilities (legacy Windows cmd vs new Windows Terminal, TTY detection). Code may behave differently in CI/non-interactive environments—test…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
