Yes, didn't find anything

How would you improve Rich?

I would like to be able to increase the number of lines/items that inspect() can show. Right now it is hardcoded in
_inspect.py -> class Inspect() -> _render()

At line 170 there is a call to Pretty(obj, indent_guides=True, max_length=10, max_string=60)

I propose two steps:
-Make max_length and max_string configuration parameters for the inspect module. In this way they can be configured for a project
-Make them keyword parameters to the inspect() call. Default values can be None to use the project wide setting

What problem does it solve for you?

I work a lot with long and deep structures on several platforms. While altering the source on one development device is doable it becomes unwieldy on all the deployed devices. I could make my own version, but would prefer to stick to the official release.

Sorry, I don’t think there is much demand for this. You can always rich.print your object if you need to see all the data.
