Use rye to install all Python dependencies:

We chose to use a monorepo design. This allows us to maintain the whole ecosystem keep it up-to-date and consistent.
We do our best to keep the dev branch as clean as possible, with tests passing at all times. However, the dev branch can move faster than the release cycle. Therefore check the releases on PyPI so that you are always up-to-date with the latest stable version.
