Rich is a Python library for rendering rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal. It provides an easy API for colored output, tables, progress bars, markdown, syntax-highlighted code, and enhanced tracebacks.

Use cases

add colors and styles to terminal output in Python
print pretty tables in the console
show progress bars for long-running tasks
render markdown in the terminal
syntax highlight source code in CLI output
display readable formatted tracebacks for exceptions
pretty-print JSON and Python data structures in the REPL

When to choose

you want polished, colorful terminal output from a Python CLI or script
you need tables, progress bars, or markdown rendering in the terminal
you want better exception tracebacks and pretty printing in Python

When to avoid

you need a full interactive TUI application (use Textual instead)
your project is not in Python
you only need simple ANSI colors with zero dependencies
