[REQUEST] Add a [minimal] version of rich without commonmark and pygments

See original GitHub issue

Rich comes with 2 required dependencies: commonmark and pygments.

CommonMark for Markdown parsing and rendering. Pygments for code syntax highlighting.

I’m often pulling in rich for colorised outputs, tables, and progress bars. None of these require those libs.

It would be nice to have a “minimal” version of rich that doesn’t itself have dependencies, e.g.:

$ pip install rich[minimal]

Thanks for your consideration

I’ve had the same point myself, but AFAIK the extras can’t subtract dependencies, only add them.

An alternative might be to have a new package called rich-minimal.

@willmcgugan one solution is using env variable in setup.py to control the “subtracted” dependency, example
