Rye without uv (for Ubuntu 18.04)

[onkoe]

uv expects to find GLIBC_2.28, which is too new for Ubuntu 18.04. Does anyone know the last version to not feature it?

If I find it, I'll reply back here.

[charliermarsh]

I think this (astral-sh/uv#3624) should resolve that requirement, if I understand correctly.

But you can still opt-out of uv in Rye -- the latest version still supports pip-tools, it's just not the default.

It seems that opting out still causes the dependency error. See:

Am I doing something wrong? In any case, thank you so much for the prompt reply! 😄

[charliermarsh]

Ahh my guess is that Rye still uses uv internally no matter what — and that the pip-tools setting only affects user projects. So if you’re on a system that doesn’t support uv, Rye may not work regardless.

[onkoe]

[email protected] works great! Functionality is as expected.

Keep in mind that it is MUCH slower to use pip-tools than uv, so rye itself is quite slow with this older version.

[onkoe]

Note: for some reason, rye is not doing a refresh of the outdated rye internals. I have to once again run it directly from the ~/Downloads/rye folder I made with the original binary. I'm not sure why it decided to try and update after I nuked its virtual environment, but just thought I should warn anyone else who needs an older version :)

Also, the 0.20.0 version of pip it uses seems to dislike [email protected]. 0.11.0 might be the newest version available for these users.
