Accidentally popular: Beautiful CLI interfaces with rich-click by Phil Ewels| PyConSe | 2024

"In the past few years, Will McGugan's Rich for formatting terminal outputs has had a meteoric rise in the Python community. As a user and fanboy of Rich, I felt that my otherwise beautiful CLI tools had drab and plain help text outputs from the Click CLI toolkit. With a little help from Will and others, I put together the rich-click package that makes Click's outputs delight your eyeballs with only a simple import alias required: import rich_click as click. In this talk I'll describe a little bit about how it works and what you can use it for, and how I dealt with it becoming accidentally quite popular and receiving a deluge of issues and contributions. Spoiler: the Python open-source community is amazing and Daniel Reeves (@dwreeves) came to my aid to co-maintain the project 🎉" https://pretalx.com/pyconse-2024/talk/XP7GWN/ #pyconse #pyconse2024
