Debug

Known issues

gotchaRequires rich>=12.5.1, but older versions of rich (<13) may conflict with other packages. If you have rich v13+ installed, ensure compatibility.

fix

Upgrade to pyboxen >=1.2.0, which allows rich>=12.5.1 (including v13).

affects: <=1.1.2

breakingDropped support for Python <3.8 in v1.1.1. Code will break on Python 3.6 or 3.7.

fix

Use Python 3.8+ or pin pyboxen<1.1.1 if stuck on older Python.

affects: >=1.1.1

deprecatedArguments 'box' and 'style' were changed in v1.0. Some older examples may use incorrect parameter names.

fix

Refer to current docs for correct parameter list: title, subtitle, color, etc.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'boxen' from 'pyboxen'

Typo or incorrect import path (e.g., 'from pyboxen import box' instead of 'boxen').

fix

Use: from pyboxen import boxen

TypeError: boxen() got an unexpected keyword argument 'style'

Old API used 'style' parameter but was removed/changed.

fix

Check current API: use 'color' and other valid parameters. See documentation.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rich'

Missing dependency 'rich'.

fix

Install rich: pip install rich>=12.5.1
