I'm usually using conda (mamba) nowadays as it also has binary support so I can use cuda etc. easily for deep learning purposes. Is this something Rye can also do?

Doesn't this work pretty well everywhere else now, too?

Torch at least is easy to pip install, as is poetry if you skip all the versions that were mispackaged.

It's unclear to me what the benefit of conda is these days, other than making it much harder to reproduce your environment on other machines.

It allows installing non-python packages too for one, like the CUDA runtime.

What is binary support?

[aldanor]

Binary packages compiled for your platform.

More generally, any non-Python packages (e.g. libwhatever, or some binary utilities).

[mikkom]

Direct support for binary packages, for example gpu specific non open source drivers etc
