Adding __rich__ methods to python classes

2021-12-23

edit✏️

Adding a __render__ method that returns a rich renderable to any python class makes it display this output if printed with rich. This also includes being nested inside a rich Layout.

import rich
from rich.panel import Panel


class ShowMe:
    def __rich__(self):
        return Panel("hello", border_style="gold1")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    rich.print(ShowMe())
