I’ve been working on Pyra for the past few months and wanted to start sharing it in public.
Right now it’s focused on the core package/project management workflow: Python installs, init, add/remove, lockfiles, env sync, and running commands in the managed env.
The bigger thing I’m exploring is whether Python could eventually support a more cohesive toolchain story overall, more in the direction of Bun: not just packaging, but maybe over time testing, tasks, notebooks, and other common workflow tools feeling like one system instead of a bunch of separate pieces.
It’s still early, and I’m definitely not claiming it’s as mature as uv. I’m mostly sharing it now because I want honest feedback on whether the direction feels interesting or misguided.

A "why not uv" section in the README would probably be the single highest-leverage thing you could add - otherwise every second commenter in this thread will ask the same question and the actual differentiator (if there is one) gets lost in noise
