Dependency on rye

[martymichal]

While going through the codebase I noticed the use of requirements.lock files in some places. These have been created using rye. Is rye the recommend/required tool for working on ODOP? Or are other alternatives (e.g., pyenv, uv,..) equally usable?

This is mainly about including that information in the README and since there are now 2 ways to track dependencies

1. pyproject.toml, and
2. Rye lock files.

Not a problem now but it caused me some confusion and may cause some in the future if one approach is preferred over the other.

requirements.lock is auto generated by rye from the dependency in pyproject.toml, you can use it with pip or other tool. Uv is quite similar to rye so our preference would be using rye

If I understand correctly, this issue is about documenting how to use rye to set up a development environment for Odop. I have done this once, but I think @nguu0123 knows better how to do this?

will create small documentation for odop dev that want to use rye during their development

Basically, yes. Especially the bit that rye is the tool for it. Otherwise, one needs to assume based on the presence of lock files.
