A production-ready Python development environment template using modern tools: uv for blazing-fast package management, Ruff for lightning-fast linting and formatting, ty for fast and reliable type checking, and VSCode Dev Containers for reproducible development environments.
- 🚀 Ultra-fast package management with uv (10-100x faster than pip)
- ⚡ Lightning-fast linting & formatting with Ruff (replacing Black, isort, Flake8, and more)
- 🐳 Dev Container ready - Consistent development environment across all machines
- 🔍 Type checking with ty
- ✅ Pre-configured testing with pytest (75% coverage requirement)
- 🔄 Automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- 📦 Reusable utilities - Logger, configuration management, and performance tracing tools
- 🎯 Task automation with nox
- 🪝 Pre-commit hooks for automatic code quality checks
- Install Docker and VSCode with the Dev Containers extension.
- Clone the repository and open it in VSCode, then click Reopen in Container when prompted:
git clone https://github.com/a5chin/python-uv.git cd python-uv code .
- Check that everything works:
uv run nox -s test
For Docker-only or local setup (without Docker), see Getting Started.
