django-tables2 VS rich

How does this compare to https://github.com/jieter/django-tables2? That one makes it really easy to display database models with column sorting and pagination.

The degree of reusability (Thanks to things like GenericForeignKey and the ubiquity of Django Templates and Django ORM, there are tons of reusable components like django-filter or django-tables)

In Django there is django-tables2 for example, that creates html table from database query.

(eg. "Django apps" like django-filter and django-tables2, which rely on being a slice across the ORM, controller layer, and templating engine.)

From the readthedocs tutorial, A few examples:

I don't see how Axum would enable something like django-tables2 or django-filter which has is vertically integrated with Django's ORM, routing layer, and template system.

I've used actix-web for stuff... but I'm just sick of constantly reinventing the rote boilerplate that things like django-tables2 and django-filter generate for me once I've declared whatever customizations I want.

django-tables2 - like crispy forms but for tables, abstracts away the need to render tables in a template.

There is an open issue [1] on GitHub to make it more modular and get rid of markdown and syntax highlighting but I have no hope for rich to get more minimal.

They keep getting improved error messaging and this is one of my favorite features. But I'd love if we could get some real rich text. Idk if anyone else uses rich, but it has infected all my programs now. Not just to print with colors, but because it makes debugging so much easier. Not just print(f"{var=}") but the handler[0,1]. Color is so important to these types of things and so is formatting. Plus, the progress bars are nice and have almost completely replaced tqdm for me[2]. They're just easier and prettier.

[2] Side note: does anyone know how to get these properly working when using DDP with pytorch? I get flickering when using this and I think it is actually down to a pytorch issue and how they're handling their loggers and flushing the screen. I know pytorch doesn't want to depend on rich, but hey, pip uses rich so why shouldn't everyone?

colors.crumb extends Crumb with basic terminal styling functions and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions. It is in the realm of JavaScript's chalk and Python's rich but slightly more functional 😉.

I am working on a new python project and one of the first things I added was https://github.com/Textualize/rich because of how easy it is to make things look good in the terminal.

I am not rewriting anything but I'd love to have a library like `rich` in Rust: https://github.com/textualize/rich

Add some cool-looking stuff to your output with rich.

You might consider taking inspiration from the rich module. In particular, I like how rich supports inline color theming which seems much more cumbersome in your framework, requiring the use of context managers as well as familiarity with how your framework structures color objects. Other than that though, I'm impressed!

Today I released coBib 4.0, my console bibliography manager written in Python, which now uses rich and textual to provide a cohesive and modern user experience in both its CLI and TUI.
