[REQUEST] Control float precision for nested objects in pretty print?

[NekoApocalypse]

I have a program that collects some statistics from a dataset. It has two outputs:

• A human readable preview printed to the terminal. I wish all float to be printed with precision 4. i.e. 3.141592653 -> 3.1416
• A json save file for downstream applications. The numbers should be in their original value.

Currently I am generating a "preview" version of the result with rounded floats just for pretty print, along side a "high-precision" version for json storage.

I wonder is it possible that we control the precision of floats with a parameter?

Example:

data = {
  "player": "John",
  "games_played": 255,
  "win_rate": 166 / 255, # should be 0.65098039215
}
orignal = json.dumps(data) # output with full precision
rich.pprint(data) # pretty print with full precision
rich.pprint(data, presicion=2) # pretty print with precision = 2

Should print:

{ "player": "John", "games_played": 255, "win_rate": 0.65098039215 }
{ "player": "John", "games_played": 255, "win_rate": 0.6510 }

Adding a parameter that is specific to ints (or any parameter honestly) in the pprint function seems rather difficult.
Perhaps you can go in the route of enquiring a specific console object, IMO adding a precision parameter to the console constructor isn't that bad, but could also use a custom formatter or what not.

I think that is beyond the remit of Rich. Not something that should go in the core lib.

I hope we solved your problem.
