This saga began with a regression in how we handle constraint sets where a typevar is constrained by another typevar, which #21068 first added support for: ```py def mutually_constrained[T, U](): # If [T = U ∧ U ≤ int], then [T ≤ int] must be true as well. given_int = ConstraintSet.range(U, T, U) & ConstraintSet.range(Never, U, int) static_assert(given_int.implies_subtype_of(T, int)) ``` While working on #21414, I saw a regression in this test, which was strange, since that PR has nothing to do with this logic! The issue is that something in that PR made us instantiate the typevars `T` and `U` in a different order, giving them differently ordered salsa IDs. And importantly, we use these salsa IDs to define the variable ordering that is used in our constraint set BDDs. This showed that our "mutually constrained" logic only worked for one of the two possible orderings. (We can — and now do — test this in a brute-force way by copy/pasting the test with both typevar orderings.) The underlying bug was in our `ConstraintSet::simplify_and_domain` method. It would correctly detect `(U ≤ T ≤ U) ∧ (U ≤ int)`, because those two constraints affect different typevars, and from that, infer `T ≤ int`. But it wouldn't detect the equivalent pattern in `(T ≤ U ≤ T) ∧ (U ≤ int)`, since those constraints affect the same typevar. At first I tried adding that as yet more pattern-match logic in the ever-growing `simplify_and_domain` method. But doing so caused other tests to start failing. At that point, I realized that `simplify_and_domain` had gotten to the point where it was trying to do too much, and for conflicting consumers. It was first written as part of our display logic, where the goal is to remove redundant information from a BDD to make its string rendering simpler. But we also started using it to add "derived facts" to a BDD. A derived fact is a constraint that doesn't appear in the BDD directly, but which we can still infer to be true. Our failing test relies on derived facts — being able to infer that `T ≤ int` even though that particular constraint doesn't appear in the original BDD. Before, `simplify_and_domain` would trace through all of the constraints in a BDD, figure out the full set of derived facts, and _add those derived facts_ to the BDD structure. This is brittle, because those derived facts are not universally true! In our example, `T ≤ int` only holds along the BDD paths where both `T = U` and `U ≤ int`. Other paths will test the negations of those constraints, and on those, we _shouldn't_ infer `T ≤ int`. In theory it's possible (and we were trying) to use BDD operators to express that dependency...but that runs afoul of how we were simultaneously trying to _remove_ information to make our displays simpler. So, I ripped off the band-aid. `simplify_and_domain` is now _only_ used for display purposes. I have not touched it at all, except to remove some logic that is definitely not used by our `Display` impl. Otherwise, I did not want to touch that house of cards for now, since the display logic is not load-bearing for any type inference logic. For all non-display callers, we have a new **_sequent map_** data type, which tracks exactly the same derived information. But it does so (a) without trying to remove anything from the BDD, and (b) lazily, without updating the BDD structure. So the end result is that all of the tests (including the new regressions) pass, via a more efficient (and hopefully better structured/documented) implementation, at the cost of hanging onto a pile of display-related tech debt that we'll want to clean up at some point. |

Ruff
An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.
Linting the CPython codebase from scratch.
- ⚡️ 10-100x faster than existing linters (like Flake8) and formatters (like Black)
- 🐍 Installable via
pip - 🛠️
pyproject.tomlsupport - 🤝 Python 3.14 compatibility
- ⚖️ Drop-in parity with Flake8, isort, and Black
- 📦 Built-in caching, to avoid re-analyzing unchanged files
- 🔧 Fix support, for automatic error correction (e.g., automatically remove unused imports)
- 📏 Over 800 built-in rules, with native re-implementations of popular Flake8 plugins, like flake8-bugbear
- ⌨️ First-party editor integrations for VS Code and more
- 🌎 Monorepo-friendly, with hierarchical and cascading configuration
Ruff aims to be orders of magnitude faster than alternative tools while integrating more functionality behind a single, common interface.
Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), Black, isort, pydocstyle, pyupgrade, autoflake, and more, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool.
Ruff is extremely actively developed and used in major open-source projects like:
...and many more.
Ruff is backed by Astral. Read the launch post, or the original project announcement.
Testimonials
Sebastián Ramírez, creator of FastAPI:
Ruff is so fast that sometimes I add an intentional bug in the code just to confirm it's actually running and checking the code.
Nick Schrock, founder of Elementl, co-creator of GraphQL:
Why is Ruff a gamechanger? Primarily because it is nearly 1000x faster. Literally. Not a typo. On our largest module (dagster itself, 250k LOC) pylint takes about 2.5 minutes, parallelized across 4 cores on my M1. Running ruff against our entire codebase takes .4 seconds.
Bryan Van de Ven, co-creator of Bokeh, original author of Conda:
Ruff is ~150-200x faster than flake8 on my machine, scanning the whole repo takes ~0.2s instead of ~20s. This is an enormous quality of life improvement for local dev. It's fast enough that I added it as an actual commit hook, which is terrific.
Timothy Crosley, creator of isort:
Just switched my first project to Ruff. Only one downside so far: it's so fast I couldn't believe it was working till I intentionally introduced some errors.
Tim Abbott, lead developer of Zulip (also here):
This is just ridiculously fast...
ruffis amazing.

Configuration
Ruff can be configured through a pyproject.toml, ruff.toml, or .ruff.toml file (see:
Configuration, or Settings
for a complete list of all configuration options).
If left unspecified, Ruff's default configuration is equivalent to the following ruff.toml file:
# Exclude a variety of commonly ignored directories.
exclude = [
".bzr",
".direnv",
".eggs",
".git",
".git-rewrite",
".hg",
".ipynb_checkpoints",
".mypy_cache",
".nox",
".pants.d",
".pyenv",
".pytest_cache",
".pytype",
".ruff_cache",
".svn",
".tox",
".venv",
".vscode",
"__pypackages__",
"_build",
"buck-out",
"build",
"dist",
"node_modules",
"site-packages",
"venv",
]
# Same as Black.
line-length = 88
indent-width = 4
# Assume Python 3.9
target-version = "py39"
[lint]
# Enable Pyflakes (`F`) and a subset of the pycodestyle (`E`) codes by default.
select = ["E4", "E7", "E9", "F"]
ignore = []
# Allow fix for all enabled rules (when `--fix`) is provided.
fixable = ["ALL"]
unfixable = []
# Allow unused variables when underscore-prefixed.
dummy-variable-rgx = "^(_+|(_+[a-zA-Z0-9_]*[a-zA-Z0-9]+?))$"
[format]
# Like Black, use double quotes for strings.
quote-style = "double"
# Like Black, indent with spaces, rather than tabs.
indent-style = "space"
# Like Black, respect magic trailing commas.
skip-magic-trailing-comma = false
# Like Black, automatically detect the appropriate line ending.
line-ending = "auto"
Note that, in a pyproject.toml, each section header should be prefixed with tool.ruff. For
example, [lint] should be replaced with [tool.ruff.lint].
Some configuration options can be provided via dedicated command-line arguments, such as those related to rule enablement and disablement, file discovery, and logging level:
ruff check --select F401 --select F403 --quiet
The remaining configuration options can be provided through a catch-all --config argument:
ruff check --config "lint.per-file-ignores = {'some_file.py' = ['F841']}"
To opt in to the latest lint rules, formatter style changes, interface updates, and more, enable
preview mode by setting preview = true in your configuration
file or passing --preview on the command line. Preview mode enables a collection of unstable
features that may change prior to stabilization.
See ruff help for more on Ruff's top-level commands, or ruff help check and ruff help format
for more on the linting and formatting commands, respectively.
Rules
Ruff supports over 800 lint rules, many of which are inspired by popular tools like Flake8, isort, pyupgrade, and others. Regardless of the rule's origin, Ruff re-implements every rule in Rust as a first-party feature.
By default, Ruff enables Flake8's F rules, along with a subset of the E rules, omitting any
stylistic rules that overlap with the use of a formatter, like ruff format or
Black.
If you're just getting started with Ruff, the default rule set is a great place to start: it catches a wide variety of common errors (like unused imports) with zero configuration.
Beyond the defaults, Ruff re-implements some of the most popular Flake8 plugins and related code quality tools, including:
- autoflake
- eradicate
- flake8-2020
- flake8-annotations
- flake8-async
- flake8-bandit (#1646)

Acknowledgements
Ruff's linter draws on both the APIs and implementation details of many other tools in the Python ecosystem, especially Flake8, Pyflakes, pycodestyle, pydocstyle, pyupgrade, and isort.
In some cases, Ruff includes a "direct" Rust port of the corresponding tool. We're grateful to the maintainers of these tools for their work, and for all the value they've provided to the Python community.
Ruff's formatter is built on a fork of Rome's rome_formatter,
and again draws on both API and implementation details from Rome,
Prettier, and Black.
Ruff's import resolver is based on the import resolution algorithm from Pyright.
Ruff is also influenced by a number of tools outside the Python ecosystem, like Clippy and ESLint.
Ruff is the beneficiary of a large number of contributors.
