Use with asyncio/trio

[Redoubts]

Naive question, but are there any sharp edges I might encounter if I use rich in something using asyncio/trio? I don't see it mentioned much, but I suspect there would be a few issues in the tracker if there was something big to worry about.

Haven't used Rich with asyncio, but I don't anticipate you'll have any major problems.

Writing to a file, even stdout, is actually a blocking operation. In practice though the OS buffers things so it won't block unless you are writing massive amounts of text to the terminal. There are a few file operations in Rich. If you use save_html or save_text to write console contents to a file, that will also block. It's unlikely to be a bottleneck, but you have the option of running those in a thread.
