I wrote the `so-many-python-package-managers` article and posted it earlier today. I'd like to apologize for misrepresenting `rye` in the first draft. I did not realize it had made so much progress in the span of the past year, and it really does look like an excellent tool. Certainly, with the `uv` backend, it just about fixes my one major gripe with `poetry`

I'll be giving it a go on my next project!

(Note: I updated my article just now to say more good things about `rye`)

Neat! A relevant quote: "[rye] has matured to the point where it now does most if not all of what poetry does only faster"

It's "just" a wrapper for the existing tools. If you're already using ASDF for your python versions and know how to use venv, there's not much gain here - saves a couple of simple commands only. It could replace your poetry (https://python-poetry.org/) if you're using it though.

Specifically, it doesn't do anything new/different by itself.

So much free advertising XKCD gets simply by being always relevant... :~P
