Textual - Using Rich Inspect to interrogate Python objects
 Textual is a TUI framework for Python, inspired by modern web development.

I love rich inspect. It's one of my most often used features of rich. It gives you a great human readable insight into python object instances.

``` python
>>> from rich import inspect
>>> text_file = open("foo.txt", "w")
>>> inspect(text_file)
```

I have a pyflyby entry for it so that I can just run it ang get automatic imports. To not clash with the standard library inspect, which is quite useful on it's own, I have aliased it to `rinspect`.

``` python
from rich import inspect as rinspect
```
