The Scientific-Python Development Guide has been updated with SPDX licenses (PEP 639) and dependency-groups (PEP 735)! There's more uv, too; the cookiecutter/copier template now sets up uv everywhere for ultra fast CI. New repo-review checks, too. learn.scientific-python.org/development/...
Topical Guides
This guide is maintained by the scientific Python community for the benefit of fellow scientists and research software engineers.
