## What it is
Rye is an all-in-one Python project and package manager written in Rust that handles Python installation bootstrapping, pyproject.toml-based dependency management, virtualenvs, linting/formatting via bundled Ruff, and global tool installation. It is no longer developed as of February 2025; its maintainers recommend migrating to uv, its actively maintained successor.

## Use cases
- manage python project dependencies with pyproject.toml
- install and manage multiple python versions
- create and manage python virtualenvs from the command line
- install python cli tools in isolated environments
- bootstrap a new python project quickly
- lint and format python code with a bundled tool
- publish python packages to pypi

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing project already managed by Rye
- you need a stable, self-contained toolchain on a legacy setup where migration is not yet possible

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Python project - use uv instead
- you need security updates or ongoing maintenance
- you want long-term community support or new Python version compatibility guarantees
