How to Create a Rich Console Progress Bar Mock in Python
This code uses Rich's Console and Progress API to build a simulated progress bar for a long-running task, updating progress and printing status messages.
import time
from rich.console import Console
from rich.progress import Progress, BarColumn, TextColumn, PercentageColumn
console = Console()
def run_simulation():
console.print("[bold cyan]Starting simulated task...[/bold cyan]")
with Progress(

Mock a pipx install step by validating the tool name and
simulating the installation command output.

A lightweight Python script that simulates hadolint by scanning Dockerfile text for common lint rules and printing violations.
import subprocess
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path
def lint_dockerfile(content: str) -> list[str]:
"""Mock hadolint by checking a few rules and returning violations."""

…Makefile Targets for lint, test, and build in Python
This Python script defines common Makefile targets (lint, test, build) as subprocess commands, printing each target's command and executing them with error checking.
import subprocess
TARGETS = {
"lint": ["ruff", "check", "."],
"test": ["pytest", "-q"],
"build": ["python", "-m", "build"],
}
def run(target: str) -> None:
if target not in TARGETS:
raise ValueError(f"Unknown target: {target}")
print(f"Running {target}...")
