Python API¶

The fast_rich python package provides Drop-in-ish replacements for some Rich components, optimized for speed.

Installation¶

pip install fast-rich

Components¶

Console¶

The entry point for printing.

from fast_rich import Console

console = Console()
console.print("Hello [bold]World[/]")

Table¶

A high-performance table builder.

from fast_rich import Console, Table

table = Table()
table.add_column("ID")
table.add_column("Value")

for i in range(1000):
    table.add_row([str(i), f"Value {i}"])

console = Console()
console.print_table(table)

Progress¶

A multi-threaded progress bar system.

from fast_rich import Progress
import time

progress = Progress()
task_id = progress.add_task("Downloading...", total=100)

for i in range(100):
    progress.update(task_id, i + 1)
    time.sleep(0.05)

Performance¶

fast-rich is designed to handle massive amounts of data. Use it when:

You have > 10,000 rows in a table.
You are constrained by Python's render overhead.
You need to verify Rust library correctness from Python.
