  Yes, RustPython has been in development since at least 2018.

  > Wouldn't this be making waves much earlier in its development process?

  It's been posted on HN several times before: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=rustpython

  a Hassle-Free Python Experience

  

  Isn't it Rye ? (https://rye.astral.sh)

  I've been evaluating it lately and it has pretty much the same CLI commands as Poetry except it's faster and comes with complete Python interpreter management (which is to me the real killer feature as I don't really care about speed of dependency resolution, but I do care about the DX).

  A modern TLS library in Rust

  

  Interesting that it relies on OpenSSL, either dynamically from the OS or vendored at compile time. I wonder what the implications would be for using something like rustls. You’d get TLS batteries included and kill a large external dependency… but possibly introduce behavior changes to low-level cryptographic operations, which is scary.

  Still, the maintainers stated that they don’t plan to implement Python’s readline module because they already have a rust implementation of readline. A similar argument could apply here - use native rust implementations of dependencies and expose them via the expected Python APIs. This would break some ambitious Python programs, but those probably wouldn’t consider alternative runtimes anyway.
