can rich be used on MicroPython or pycopy

[varioustoxins]

I wanted to write a small (yet colourful) command line installer. So far I have been working with bash and some 3rd part libraries. Last nigh it struck me rich and a small foot print python (micropython/pycopy) might be a good fit. Is this possible?

I haven’t tried, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work!

[varioustoxins]

so had a go and got quite a long way but ran into the problem that rich uses enums and enums use metaclasses and ... metaclasses are not supported, bummer

[varioustoxins]

maybe ways around but will require a fake IntEnum class...

[varioustoxins]

or possibly the python27 back port...

[varioustoxins]

nope metaclasses are the killer, no metaclasses no enums...

[varioustoxins]

next alternative build a bistro with standard python but much/some of the standard library stripped away...
