Textual - Using Rich Inspect to interrogate Python objects Textual is a TUI framework for Python, inspired by modern web development. Textual Documentation · textual.textualize.io [1] I love rich inspect. It’s one of my most often used features of rich. It gives you a great human readable insight into python object instances. >>> from rich import inspect >>> text_file = open("foo.txt", "w") >>> inspect(text_file) I have a pyflyby entry for it so that I can just run it ang get automatic imports. To not clash with the standard library inspect, which is quite useful on it’s own, I have aliased it to rinspect. from rich import inspect as rinspect References: [1]: https://textual.textualize.io/blog/2023/07/27/using-rich-inspect-to-interrogate-python-objects/

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())
results of printing ShowMe with rich
