This repository provides a production-ready Python development environment template using VSCode Dev Containers for reproducibility. It addresses slow package management and linting by integrating uv for ultra-fast dependency resolution and Ruff for lightning-fast code quality checks, streamlining workflows for engineers and power users.

How It Works

The core approach utilizes VSCode Dev Containers for consistent development environments. It integrates uv, a package manager claimed to be 10-100x faster than pip, and Ruff, a high-performance linter/formatter consolidating tools like Black and Flake8. This, with Pyright for type checking and nox for task automation, provides a robust, efficient Python setup.

Quick Start & Requirements

Requires Docker and VSCode Dev Containers extension. Clone the repo, open in VSCode, and select "Reopen in Container." Key commands: uv sync (dependencies), uv run nox -s test (tests), uv run nox -s fmt (format). Docker-only: build with docker build -t python-uv ., run with docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace python-uv. Local setup needs Python 3.10+ and uv; install uv via script, clone, uv sync. Supports Python 3.10-3.14.

Highlighted Details

• Features uv for significant speed improvements over pip.
• Ruff consolidates multiple linting/formatting tools for enhanced performance.
• VSCode Dev Containers ensure environment consistency.
• Includes built-in utility modules (logging, config, tracing).
• Enforces 75% minimum test coverage via pytest.
• Automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions.

Maintenance & Community

Includes contribution guidelines and a code of conduct. Archived branches (jupyter, rye) suggest past focus shifts. No specific community links (Discord, Slack) or maintainer/sponsor details are provided in the README.
