Frequently asked questions

What does "RyeCharm" mean? What is the goal of this plugin?

The name is a portmanteau of "Rye" and "PyCharm". Regardless of the name, this plugin only ever has minimal support for Rye, since, as of the former's creation, the latter is a tool being deprecated.

It was created to become the only PyCharm plugin Python programmers will ever need when working with the next-generation tools maintained by Astral, much like how Rye was created to be an one-stop-shop.

Astral's tools are fast and robust, while PyCharm's features are used (and perhaps loved) by many users. RyeCharm aims to combine the best of both worlds.

Is this an official Astral project?

No. However, it is meant to serve as the first step towards an "official" plugin.
