ruff VS py-template

Leverage Python Tools: Tapyr takes advantage of Python’s ecosystem tools, including ruff, pytest, and others.

I think I mention this all the time when this comes up, but I learned the most 'best practices' through using ruff.

https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/

I just installed and enabled all the rules by setting

Ruff is a Python linter that helps to identify and remove code smells. Over 700 built-in rules: Ruff includes native re-implementations of popular Flake8 plugins, like flake8-bugbear. And also built-in caching to avoid re-analyzing unchanged files.

Because the Python's "ast" modules is too slow, and lacks proper "format" feature (it has unparse but it removes comments, and forgets the current style completely). I use "ruff" a lot (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) which is in Rust. But I want to be able to implement fast custom linters in Go (linters that ruff / fixit lack, and Python linters lack or are too slow).

I think it’s interesting that rye uses ruff (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) for linting and formatting. That’s the right call, and it’s also correct to bundle that in for an integrated dev experience.

I had to guess, that’s the path that the Astral team would take as well - expand ruff’s capabilities so it can do everything a Python developer needs. So the vision that Armin is describing here might be achieved by ruff eventually. They’d have an advantage that they’re not a single person maintenance team, but the disadvantage of needing to show a return to their investors.

Adding more weight to ease of setup and configurability, the choice came down on flake8. It is easy to integrate, since its also available through pip and let’s you configure which standards you want to omit by simply stating them as a list via the --ignore switch. Moving to ruff appears quite smooth, so future updates may do so.

I confess I stole the pip recipe from Charlie :D

Ruff is an emerging tool in the Python ecosystem that describes itself as "an extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust".

Hey HackerNews,

Original post with more context on reddit [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/yu4ynu/pytemplate_o...).

## TLDR - what is it?

[py-template](https://github.com/inovintell/py-template) is a [GitHub Template repository](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managin...) for Python, which provides:

- Opinionated linting, autoformatting etc. (this update changes [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/) to substantially faster [ruff](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff)

py-template is a GitHub Template repository for Python, which provides:

py-template: same as above, but tailored to Python programming language.
