  • rich

    Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.

    May it be because you're mainly discussing ancient technology (tongue in cheek)? You're essentially building a function that uses argparse and then parsing some terminal colour codes to produce pretty output. Nowadays there are plently of more modern libraries that facilitate building CLI and produce beautiful output (see rich).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
