Add support for rye as an environment manager

[marrov]

Hi all!

Just wanted to start by saying thanks to the maintainers and devs. This project is fantastic and we have been using it in our organization for some time. I also feel v2 has been a great improvement.

This discussion is to argue in favour of adding rye as a package manager. I've seen ruff is rightly being considered (discussion here) and rye is astral's take an a python package manager plus other goodies. It uses ruff and optionally uv under the hood (faster drop in replacement for pip) and acts like a better poetry (also requested here). We have been quite happy with it at my organization with it despite it being a relatively recent project. Actually, we have such a high conviction with rye that it is the main reason we are currently moving out of cookiecutter-data-science as our project templating solution.

It would be great if there could be support for rye within this project. I have used it quite extensively and would be happy to contribute with adding this tool with some guidance.

Since astral took over rye, they've had the following note on the docs and repo.

If you're getting started with Rye, consider uv, the successor project from the same maintainers.

While Rye is actively maintained, uv offers a more stable and feature-complete experience, and is the recommended choice for new projects.

Having trouble migrating? astral-sh/rye#1342

Given that, I think we're not likely to add rye support since it's likely just to get less and less attention as uv is developed.

Hello there,

Firstly, I want to echo @marrov's words of thanks and wonderful experience using cookiecutter-data-science.

I actually started off using uv and only learned of rye after reading this original post.
In this case, would the team be considering supportinguv as a package manager for cookiecutter-data-science?

Thanks!

Thanks @WeiXie03! We already support uv in the latest version https://cookiecutter-data-science.drivendata.org/all-options/#environment-manager
