💡 [REQUEST] - Migrate to a modern Python stack

[lvaylet]

Summary

Following up on issues like #432 and #456 that involve dependency management and packaging, moving to a more modern Python stack would make things a lot simple and a lot easier.

Basic Example

For example, mature tools like Poetry and Hatch support lock files for reproducibility. They can also isolate different parts of a CI pipeline in dedicated virtual environments, allowing linting and testing to have different dependencies from the default installation. Finally, they are able to publish to PyPi without twine.

Ruff is a fast and reliable drop-in replacement for packages like flake8, black, isort and pylint. And it is written in Rust! It does not replace type checkers like mypy though.

Drawbacks

A bit of work required to migrate. Hatch is able to migrate from setuptools with hatch new --init.

Hatch has an interesting concept with environment matrices. Compared to GitHub matrix strategies, Hatch might be able to speed up CI as a whole. For example by automatically caching pytype artifacts in .pytype/, as the different Python versions used in the matrix seem to share the checked-out codebase.
