Hey Pulumi Community, I'm trying to use Rye with pulumi and so far most things seem to be working. I have installed both the pulumi and pulumi-aws packages in the pyproject.toml and have completed a

rye sync

which successfully installed those packages. I have also pointed to my rye

.venv/

directory in the pulumi.yaml config which is working as expected. However when I try to run

pulumi up

I run into the error

error: failed to discover plugin requirements: calling `python -m pip list -v --format json`: exit status 1

I'm struggling to find what is going wrong - any ideas?

that's weird, i thought venvs always came with pip?

Hey Jamie, I think Rye is just super super barebones. But when installing Rye you get two install options between

uv

and

pip

where Rye recommends

uv

. I think that's why, I made assumptions that I wouldn't run into pip issues because I'm too used to having it all the time.

[muttering] wtf is uv...

Beats me!

[muttering] what does it not alias...

I'm very new to Rye and UV, our CTO is a bit of a python wizard and he loves it, some of the projects he's been working on with it look really great. Also now that I'm getting used to Rye I think it's the best python dev experience I've had

oh, it's all one group, astral

Try it 😉 You might find it's super good

i'm already freely moving between poetry, pipenv, pip-tools, xonsh vox, and doing stuff manually

Honestly it's just because it's all in one place, easy to manage, as it does your venv and packages nicely. But if you have a few different repositories i.e.,

my-project-web

,

my-project-core

,

my-project-fancyrepo

You can clone those down, put them in a single directory and then create your pyproject.toml to link them all together so that you can have an entire happy dev environment with mutli-repos being managed with a single tool in a single place.

ok, we're running into monorepo problems, so if it does interesting things for that, it might be worth while

I highly recommend 🙂

"it does venv and packages" also describes poetry

Hahaha, there's no need to use it, but I'm enjoying the experience

yeah, but there's a lot of tools that assume the command to call to add/remove packages is

pip

That's true although like with my issue, I just ran

rye add pip

and then a

rye sync

and it resolved. Also when installing rye you can choose to use

pip

by default
