Cara menggunakan diff function python

In this article, we'll learn about a powerful library for Python called Rich.

Rich is a Python library for writing rich text (with color and style) to the terminal. It lets you display advanced content such as tables, markdown, and syntax-highlighted code.

So, why is this useful? Well, if you're not using a tool like Rich, the output of your code on the terminal can be a little boring and difficult to understand. If you want to make it clearer and prettier, you probably want to use Rich – and you've come to the right place to learn how to do it.

How to Install Rich

You can install Rich with pip as:

To know what all Rich can do, you can type the following command in the terminal:

Now you can see that we can do quite a lot of things with Rich. Let's try a few of them out to see how they work.

How to Rich print in Python

Rich has the capability to highlight the output according to the datatype. We'll import the alternative print function from the Rich library which takes the same arguments as the built-in print.

To avoid confusion with the built-in print function, we'll import print from the rich library as rprint.

Output:

Do you see how the different data types are highlighted with different colors? This can help us a lot while debugging.

How to Rich inspect in Python

If you use the built-in helpfunction for viewing the documentation of a library, you'll see a boring output.

Output:

Rich has an inspect() function which can generate a report on any Python object. It is a fantastic debug aid, and a good example of the output that Rich can generate.

Output:

How to style your console with Rich

For complete control over terminal formatting, Rich offers a Console class.

Let's write a function to merge Python dictionaries.

Output:

In the above example, we have used the logmethod that offers the same capabilities as print, but adds some features useful for debugging a running application.

There are several other methods such as print, print_json, out, rule, and so on. Learn more about them here.

How to use Tree in Rich

Rich has a Tree class which can generate a tree view in the terminal. A tree view is a great way of presenting the contents of a filesystem or any other hierarchical data. Each branch of the tree can have a label which may be text or any other Rich renderable.

Let's see an example by creating a family tree:

Output:

Once we create an instance of the Tree class, we can use the add() method to add branches to it. To create a complex tree, you just use the add() method to add more branches to it. Notice the Brother and Sister branch in the above example.

In the official documentation, we have a tree.py file that outputs the file structure using Tree. The output looks like this:

How to display a progress bar using Rich

Rich can show continuously updated information about the status of long-running tasks, file copies, and so forth. You can customize this information, too. By default, it provides a description of the 'task,' a progress bar, percentage complete, and anticipated time left.

Multiple tasks are supported with a rich progress display, each with a bar and progress statistics. You can use this to keep track of several jobs that are being worked on in threads or processes.

Let's first try the progress.track method to create the progress bar.

Output:

If we want to record the time when a particular task is finished executing, we can use console.status instead.

You can work directly with the Progress class if you need several tasks in the display or want to customize the columns in the progress display. After you've created a Progress object, use (add_task()) to add task(s) and (update_progress()) to update progress.

The Progress class is intended to be used as a context manager, automatically starting and stopping the progress display.

Output:

How to display Rich Columns in Python

Rich can render text or other Rich renderables in neat columns with the Columns class. To use, construct a Columns instance with an iterable of renderables and print it to the Console.

Output:

How to display Rich tables in Python

Rich’s Table class offers a variety of ways to render tabular data to the terminal. This class has add_column() and add_row() methods to add column and row respectively to the table instance created from the Table class.

Let's create a table for our todo list. This table will have three columns – S.No., Task, and Status.

Output:

Wrapping Up

In this tutorial, we learned how to use Rich to beautify the terminal. There are lots of other features that Rich supports. Learn more about them in the official documentation.
