Rich is a Python library for rendering rich text, beautiful formatting, and advanced content to the terminal. It provides a Console class as its central abstraction, which manages terminal capabilities (color systems, width, encoding) and renders a composable hierarchy of 'renderables' — objects implementing the __rich_console__ protocol that yield Segment tuples (text, style, control codes). The architecture is a monolithic library with clean internal modularity: the Console orchestrates rendering, Segment is the low-level output primitive, and higher-level renderables (Table, Tree, Markdown, Syntax, Progress, Layout, Live) compose into each other via the protocol. Key entry points are the module-level print/inspect/print_json functions (backed by a global Console singleton), the Console class for explicit control, and CLI modules (python -m rich.syntax, python -m rich.markdown, etc.). The library handles cross-platform terminal differences including Windows legacy console API calls via ctypes, Jupyter notebook HTML rendering, and Unicode width calculations across 21 Unicode versions. External dependencies are minimal: pygments for syntax highlighting and markdown-it-py for Markdown parsing. The codebase demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship in its terminal rendering pipeline, careful handling of edge cases (CJK width, emoji variants, control codes, broken file-like objects), and a well-designed protocol system that enables arbitrary composition of renderables. The Segment-based rendering architecture is both performant and elegant, allowing style application, line splitting, and cell-width calculations to be composed as transformations over segment sequences.
wttr.in is a production-grade weather forecast service accessible via HTTP, designed primarily for terminal use with `curl`. It provides weather reports in multiple formats: ANSI-colored text (v1 and v2 views), plain text, JSON (j1/j2), Prometheus metrics (p1), HTML, and PNG images. The service automatically detects the user's location via IP geolocation (MaxMind GeoIP2) or explicit city/airport/coordinate queries, then fetches weather data from WorldWeatherOnline (the only actively configured data source). The architecture is a single Go binary with embedded assets (fonts, translations, templates) and a pipeline of interfaces: query parsing, location resolution, weather fetching, caching, rendering, and formatting. It supports 74 languages with per-language translation files and a rule-based routing system for selecting views and output types. The codebase demonstrates solid engineering with interface-based design, multiple caching layers (LRU in-memory, disk-based, SQLite-backed location cache), and request coalescing to prevent thundering herd on upstream APIs. However, it shows signs of technical drift: reliance on a single external weather API, hardcoded paths in configuration, disabled linters, and incomplete translations. The project is actively maintained with a large user base and extensive integration documentation for tools like tmux, Waybar, Emacs, and Google Sheets.
