Introducing Rye Easy: Streamline Your Python Project Management with Rye

What is Rye Easy?

Rye Easy is a lightweight, user-friendly tool designed to simplify and automate common tasks when managing Python projects with Rye. It provides a set of convenient commands and functions that make building, versioning, and publishing Python packages more efficient.

Why I Created Rye Easy

As a Rye user, I found myself repeatedly performing the same sequence of commands for routine tasks like building packages, bumping versions, and publishing releases. I created Rye Easy to automate these workflows and make the development process smoother.

Key Features

🔄 Simplified Build Process

With a single command, Rye Easy:

• Cleans your dist directory
• Bumps the patch version
• Builds your package
• Installs it locally for testing

python -m rye_easy build

🚀 Streamlined Publishing

Publish your package with one command that:

• Bumps the patch version
• Commits the changes to git
• Creates a version tag
• Pushes to your remote repository

python -m rye_easy publish

⚙️ Easy pyproject.toml Management

Read or update your pyproject.toml file with simple commands:

# Read the entire file
python -m rye_easy update_pyproject

# Read a specific value
python -m rye_easy update_pyproject --section project --key version

# Update a specific value
python -m rye_easy update_pyproject --section project --key description --value "New description"

🛠️ Build System Fixes

Fix common build system issues with a single command:

python -m rye_easy fix_buildsystem

📝 Script Entry Management

Easily add script entries to your pyproject.toml:

python -m rye_easy add_script --name my_script --target "my_package.module:function"

Installation

pip install rye-easy

Python API

Rye Easy can also be used as a Python module:

from rye_easy import build, publish, update_pyproject, fix_buildsystem, add_script

# Build your package
build()

# Publish your package
publish()

# Read or update pyproject.toml
data = update_pyproject()  # Read entire file
version = update_pyproject(key="version", section="project")  # Read a value
update_pyproject(key="description", value="New description", section="project")  # Update a value

Future Plans

I'm actively working on enhancing Rye Easy with more features, including:

• GitHub Actions integration for automated publishing
• Additional configuration options
• More customization for version bumping (major, minor, patch)
