can rich be a mandatory dependency?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

while hacking around a bit more to warm up to the codebase i created https://github.com/RonnyPfannschmidt/entangled.py/pull/1/commits/120aea99314cccaa59969a62bf7f4f6d431e2a1a to enhance the file tree printing a little

seeing the code and the related code made me think that having rich always doesnt seem too bad as a dependency

im happy to submit a mr with the changes to go all in on rich if that idea sails

rich depends on ipywidgets, which pulls in everything and the kitchen sink. For projects that do not involve Python otherwise this is a big ask.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

good point, i'll check with its maintainers if something about that can be done

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

i believe that until opt-out extras land this may have to sit

[willmcgugan]

Rich doesn't depend on ipywidgets unless you request jupyter extras.

In that case I don't object
