rye(1)

Rye is a modern Python project manager written in Rust that aims to simplify Python development workflows. It manages virtual environments, dependencies, Python versions, and project structure in a single tool, inspired by tools like Rust's Cargo.

Rye uses a pyproject.toml file for project configuration and a requirements.lock file for reproducible builds. It automatically handles Python version installation, environment isolation, and dependency resolution.
