This is how I feel about all the Python packaging. And this is why I never wanted to publish rye and kept it for myself. It's also incredibly hacky internally because it was never intended to be shared. However I really like what it does (at least in theory) and I desperately want it to exist.
As it stands today, it solves my problems — sort of. I wish it solved more of my problems but to a large degree what is missing, rye cannot really solve. Rye should not exist, it should just be the out of the box Python experience. The same way as Rust comes with cargo and rustup, my dream solution for Python was that something like rye exists and becomes the standard way to manage Python projects including getting the right interpreters. However that requires that such interpreters are actually distributed as binaries. Likewise for rye to work, the underlying packages still need stuff that does not exist. Here are some things that would make a real rye work:
But even without all of this, rye could exist. In a sense it does today, but it exists to solve one developer's personal problems in his very personal way. I really have no desire to contribute more to the proliferation of Python packaging. Today the pypa org on github is what appears to be dozens of competing, largely independent efforts. In addition to that there is conda, there are now even companies appearing that are putting layers around conda as well. It's a pretty big mess.
