Overwriting the builtin Python Print [closed]

Question

Nowadays I pretty much only using the Python Rich implementation for printing. i.e from rich import print.

Rather than adding this to every script I write, is there a way to replace the built-in Python print with the Rich implementation?

Answer 1

You can create a script usercustomize.py inside the user site-packages directory which performs the import and assigns it to the builtins:

import builtins
import rich

builtins.print = rich.print

Also check the documentation of the site module for more information (the same can be achieved for all users via sitecustomize.py).
