The author discusses the evolution of Rye and its connection to Python tooling, particularly with Astral’s release of uv. Rye serves as a test bed for exploring Python tooling possibilities and improving developer experience. Astral tools are increasingly integrated into Rye’s functionality, leading to discussions of formalizing Rye as a “cargo for Python.” Under Astral’s stewardship, Rye will continue to innovate and experiment with UX enhancements, such as faster package installation. The author expresses commitment to contributing to Rye’s development, but acknowledges the project’s complexity. The goal is for Rye and uv to eventually merge into a comprehensive Python tool. No plans to join Astral, but there’s a Python packaging song generated by AI.
