rich VS alive-progress

- rich, a base rich text library with tons of raw capabilities and convenience classes/functions. `tempy` makes use of `rich` for all its rendering capabilities.

Both are python libraries written by Will McGugan, designed to bring stylized text formatting to terminals and consoles.

You should check out https://github.com/Textualize/rich to enhance your terminal outputs.

To keep things simple my choice fell on console output, but I knew Python has some nice libraries about formatting text in the terminal such as rich so my derived classes were refactored to implement console rendering.

Will McGugan is among the most well-known Python developers. He's the author of Rich, a library for formatting output in the terminal. It's used, among others, by pip, and has more than 40K stars on GitHub. In 2021, Will started building Textual, a TUI (text user interface) framework based on Rich. At the end of the year, he founded the company Textualize.

I don't know if this will work for your case, but Rich has easy progress bars. The new windows terminal uses it for loading bars for pip.

I found this code in the rich/examples folder in the Github.

And here are some libraries that might pique your interest although they don't strictly answer your question: - tqdm for adding a progress bar on for loops (it comes with useful information like iteration per second and estimated time needed to finish) - alive_progress adds a progress bar like tqdm, but it works even with generators and while loops which I don't think tqdm does. -timebudget, with just a decorator as soon as a function is completed it prints the time taken to execute it - send2trash for sending files to the trash bin instead of permanently deleting them - keyboard for sending keyboard inputs or check if a key is pressed - mouse same as keyboard but with mouse buttons - textract for extracting text from many types of file with a single interface. It supports documents, powerpoint presentations, csv, excels, images, gifs, audio, and many more

Humm unfortunately not yet. I didn't figure yet how to render multiple bars at the same time, with possibly very different update speeds, while still making the print hook work... There's more info here: https://github.com/rsalmei/alive-progress/issues/20#issuecomment-605832026

In the soon-to-be-released 2.0, there's a new support for *compiled animations*! They are generated up-front, and then just switch frames, which should have a negligible overhead! You can see it here: https://github.com/rsalmei/alive-progress/pull/51

I still have to write about all the 2.0 features, the largest release I'll ever do... 😅 => https://github.com/rsalmei/alive-progress/pull/51

Oh, I have much more images of the new `check()` tool in this thread: https://github.com/rsalmei/alive-progress/issues/19
