[BUG] Cannot access console after importing rich

[squidarth]

• I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug

On rich version 13.4.2, I'm seeing the following issue:

In [1]: import rich

In [2]: rich.console
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In [2], line 1
----> 1 rich.console

AttributeError: module 'rich' has no attribute 'console'

To import the console module one has to import it like this:

from rich.console import Console

Prior to April 30, 2024, this used to work, on the same version of rich. Did something change with that version?

Platform

Click to expand

What platform (Win/Linux/Mac) are you running on? What terminal software are you using?

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

Rich Environment:

python -m rich.diagnose
pip freeze | grep rich

rich is the package and console is a module.

from rich.console import Console imports the class defined in that module.

I'm not sure what you expected?
