# Modern Python

Start a Python project without relitigating the tooling

## What this does

Starting a Python project means picking tools before you write anything, and moving an old one means unpicking the tools it already has. This sets projects up with uv, ruff and ty. Reach for it when you are creating something new, writing a one-off script, or migrating away from pip, Poetry, mypy or black.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up a new Python project
- Get a standalone script properly configured
- Move off pip, Poetry, mypy or black

## Questions

### Is Modern Python safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Modern Python and recorded 0 findings and 4 flagged items. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit d5fe2e6a7896, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/modern-python.

### How do I install Modern Python?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/modern-python on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/trailofbits/skills/tree/d5fe2e6a7896236c3102fd5477e833623ad70298/plugins/modern-python/skills/modern-python.
