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 Note This post is a thought [2]. It’s a short note that I make about someone else’s content online #thoughts References: [1]: https://textual.textualize.io/blog/2023/07/27/using-rich-inspect-to-interrogate-python-objects/ [2]: /thoughts/

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()) [1] References: [1]: https://images.waylonwalker.com/dunder_rich_showme.png
