python-conventions

Configure a modern Python project by using uv as the universal package manager and project runner, ruff for linting and formatting, and mypy for type checking. This setup enforces type-safe conventions and maintainable code from the start.

Modern Python conventions enforce PEP 604 unions, from __future__ annotations, and modern type hints for static typing. For structured data, these conventions favor using dataclasses or pydantic models to improve reliability and clarity.

Yes, you can use uv as the universal package manager and project runner to manage dependencies, run tests, and validate builds. It replaces standard tooling to provide a unified workflow for modern Python projects.

The best way to enforce consistent Python formatting and linting is to use ruff for all related tasks. Applying ruff ensures consistent style and quality across the project while reducing boilerplate.

You should use ruff for Python linting because it provides standard toolchain integration alongside uv and mypy. It enforces consistent style and quality while reducing boilerplate compared to other category-level alternatives.
