I've used asdf for years, but recently switched to https://github.com/jdx/mise It's a drop-in replacement for asdf, but I prefer some of the nice features it has to offer. See: https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/comparison-to-asdf.html

I recently started using https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi for Python projects. I really love it so far, but this tool looks a bit more mature, which makes sense considering pixi is relatively new.

I did the same. mise is brilliant! For reference it was previously called rtx

The main differences are better UX with simpler commands and it not using shims, which means much better performance

Ah - was just about to come and post exactly the same thing. Mise is fantastic, supports everything ASDF does and is faster.

I still prefer asdf. It does the job just fine. Direnv has its own stdlib, which sometimes I find useful, and make is something I have to install anyway.

Because of the insanity of python versions, paths, wheels etc and tiredness of spending time getting poetry install to work for project X due to also needing a full rust and c++ toolchain for some dependency etc..

.. I run everything for a project in a container. Each project then matches perfectly the container actually used in production, so if it works there, it also works on my machine. I just volume mount the project folder into the container so I can't edit files from my IDE, and then pycharm has ok support for remote interpreters.

Wait, not only is it called asdf leading to confusion, it literally is also a package manager of sorts just like the original asdf???

I just tried googling it having not really used CL in a while, and apparently it was seo'd to the top of google results too?
