rye

Curious how well upstream contributors or projects get contributed for these sort of headline-gathering acquisitions (probably not at all, unfortunately). OpenClaw notably was built around Mario Zechner's pi[0]; uv I believe was highly adapted from Armin Ronacher's rye[1], and uses indygreg's python-build-standalone[2] for distributing Python builds (both of which were eventually transferred to Astral).

Rye is softly being sunset in favor of `uv` (though still officially supported, and I haven't heard of any plans to change that). As it says on https://rye.astral.sh/, > If you're getting started with Rye, consider uv, the successor project from the same maintainers. > While Rye is actively maintained, uv offers a more stable and feature-complete experience, and is the recommended choice for new projects. It also links to https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/discussions/1342.

Yeah, the README said the following until January 2024 [1]: > Rye is Armin's personal one-stop-shop for all his Python needs. [...] It is a wish of what Python was, with no guarantee to work for anyone else. That text was removed only a few weeks before the announcement that Astral was taking stewardship of Rye. [1]: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/commit/f7c928898ae5f952fc2f...

Good question. They address it here: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/discussions/1164

We wanted to cover this in a dedicated discussion. See https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/discussions/1342

I wrote about it a bit here: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/discussions/1342

FYI, Rye is the name of a tool that's gaining popularity in the Python world. https://github.com/astral-sh/rye

It looks like Armin Ronacher answered this question in the issues when he was maintainer (https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/issues/316#issuecomment-158...): > While I understand the desire for XDG, I personally hate it because it encourages common files to be in different locations on different operating system, driving up the complexity for everybody. Once you go down that path, every single documentation has to explain different paths for different platforms and configurations, how different configs can affect where stuff is. It gets gnarly quickly. > I do not believe the benefits outweigh the downsides and XDG is generally not enough of a standard that it prevents people from putting stuff into the home folder. If you want to relocate `rye` there, you can already do by exporting `RYE_HOME`.

Sure but then it will trigger false positives some of the time https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/issues/468

One that that isn't clear is editor support -- I recently switched to poetry for a few repos at work because it took the pain out of editor setup for my team -- it works with intellij, vscode, and emacs (well, doom emacs made it pretty easy) -- anyone know how well this integrats with e.g. emacs? A quick search turned up this unanswered question: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/issues/888

If you're interested in the historical rationale for Rye I suggest reading the original README from when it was first released: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/blob/8e430b0519fe2a125837e1... And Armin's later post about the vision for the project a year later: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/2/4/rye-a-vision/

On Rye: "This project was ultimately abandoned by its author in 2023 and given to Astral.sh in favor of supporting uv instead" I don't think that's quite the right way to frame this. Handing Rye over to a company that could maintain it full time isn't the same thing as "abandoning" it - and the new maintainers are active on that project: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/commits/main/

prefix-dev/pixi is a successor to Mamba and Conda which wraps libsolv like dnf. https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi OpenSUSE/libsolv: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv OpenSUSE/zypper may have wrapped or may still wrap libsolv? TIL libsolv also supports arch .apk and .deb; there's a deb2solv utility to create libsolv .solv files: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/blob/master/tools/deb2so...
