Rich – Beautiful and Interactive Console Output with python

Rich is a Python library that makes terminal output visually appealing with colors, formatting, and advanced features like tables, progress bars, and syntax highlighting. It enhances readability for command-line tools, scripts, and logs. Rich is commonly used for building CLI applications, debugging, and adding interactive visual elements to console programs without requiring a GUI.
