snakemake VS rich

Last year, my pull requests were on my own projects: two to for my Apple Watch telemetry recording app, one was for a workout Watch app, and the third was for the research project I was working on at the moment (this paper has since been published, "The origins and genetic interactions of KRAS mutations are allele- and tissue-specific" and the code is open source). This year, in order to enhance my learning, I challenged myself to contribute to others' projects. In my opinion, I have been quite successful with contributions to Fig, tldr, snakemake, and pymc3-examples. In addition, I have also taken up the challenge of learning about Appwrite, one of the sponsors of this year's Hacktoberfest, and producing educational content about the service. (With some encouragement by the offer of free stickers 🙃) I found this a great opportunity to learn about an essential world of programming that I had yet to deal with: backend services.

If you’re into data science, have you taken a look at Snakemake? I came across this quite recently, and now, I’m wondering why I hadn’t used it before (it really would’ve come in handy to automate a few data-wrangling processes).

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.

I hope he doesn't mind, but the creator of Rich and Textualize is a good guy, and Scottish: https://www.willmcgugan.com/about/

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.
