Rye is a comprehensive project and package management solution for Python.
Born from [its creator's](https://github.com/mitsuhiko) desire to establish a
one-stop-shop for all Python users, Rye provides a unified experience to install and manage Python
installations, `pyproject.toml` based projects, dependencies and virtualenvs
seamlessly. It's designed to accommodate complex projects, monorepos and to
facilitate global tool installations. Curious? [Watch an introduction](https://youtu.be/q99TYA7LnuA).
A hassle-free experience for Python developers at every level.

## In The Box
Rye picks and ships the right tools so you can get started in minutes:
* **Bootstraps Python:** it provides an automated way to get access to the amazing [Indygreg Python Builds](https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/) as well as the PyPy binary distributions.
* **Linting and Formatting:** it bundles [ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) and makes it available with `rye lint` and `rye fmt`.
* **Managing Virtualenvs:** it uses the well established virtualenv library under the hood.
* **Building Wheels:** it delegates that work largely to [build](https://pypi.org/project/build/).
* **Publishing:** its publish command uses [twine](https://pypi.org/project/twine/) to accomplish this task.
* **Locking and Dependency Installation:** is today implemented by using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) with a fallback to [unearth](https://pypi.org/project/unearth/) and [pip-tools](https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/).
* **Workspace support:** Rye lets you work with complex projects consisting
of multiple libraries.
