AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Rich renders styled text, tables, progress bars, syntax-highlighted code, and markdown directly to the terminal with minimal effort, supporting color, emoji, and rich formatting across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with only two runtime dependencies (markdown-it-py, pygments). Actively maintained with recent commits; last release 123 days ago indicates steady development.

MIT license (permissive) imposes no significant restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute rich freely in commercial and private projects with minimal obligations.

Usage

pip install rich

from rich.console import Console
console = Console()
console.print("Hello, [bold magenta]World[/bold magenta]!")

Requires Python 3.9 or later.

Verdict: Rich is a mature, actively maintained library with zero known vulnerabilities, permissive MIT licensing, and minimal dependencies. It is production-ready for adding sophisticated terminal formatting to CLI applications and debugging workflows.

Needs verification

Whether markdown-it-py and pygments are optional or strictly required at runtime for all use cases.
Performance characteristics when rendering very large tables or long markdown documents.
Community adoption and real-world usage patterns beyond GitHub stars.
