# Introduction to Rye

> [!NOTE]
> Rye's author Armin Ronacher now recommends [uv](https://pydevtools.com/handbook/reference/uv.md) for new projects. Rye continues as a maintained project, but uv has become the primary focus for modern Python tooling. See [uv's documentation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for migration guidance.

Armin recently recorded an introduction to the tool with the release of version 0.21:
