[PLT-0] Improve Overall Dev-X By Using Rye

[adrian-chang]

Overall Goal: Improve Dev-X
Overall Strategy:

• Use rye as a baseline tool for all SDK Development
  • poetry can be used also as standard pyproject.toml
• Enforces same Python / Virtual Env / Package management etc. during development versus opinionated / unstructured approach per developer.
• Refreshed CONTRIB.MD to standard CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Eliminates use of setuptools / setup.py
• Update README.MD and CONTRIB.MD to reflect use of rye
• Make labelbox package follow src/ folder convention
• Simplify development steps (rye run unit, rye run lint, rye run integration) is all that is needed. Nothing else
• Make repo a monorepo by starting a libs/ folder for future SDK modules outside of labelbox
  ** See comment of Support subprojects in a poetry project python-poetry/poetry#2270, lack of monorepo support of poetry, well at least natively
• Streamline github action for deployment
• Drop tests from being in a python module environment
• Make CI integration tests use pypi built package, not local code
• Update readthedocs creation
• Test publish to pypi

TODO:

• (Eventually) Fix Readthe Docs

I havent ever used rye before.. couple of qns.

1. Is it an alternative to poetry? why not poetry?
2. On their website they say "Rye is still a very experimental tool" ..so is it stable and used widely in the industry?

Very good! Left some questions

Just adding it as a review comment so that it doesnt get missed out

^ look at the comparison, I personally don't want to deal with inconsistent environments (poetry doesn't solve the python-version problem, you'd have to use pyenv, something else)

](https://star-history.com/#astral-sh/rye&python-poetry/poetry&Date) -> popularity, well I mean the creator did make Flask (if that is meaningful reputation wise).

You can use poetry since, by definition, the pyproject.toml files are pep standard. Not against poetry, in fact, I've used / use it in other projects outside of LB.

example (open ai): https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/requirements.lock, codeinterpreter-api (https://github.com/shroominic/codeinterpreter-api/blob/main/requirements.lock)

To your point, there is some language (last year) indicating a more experimental attitude towards the work but the recent website updates are starting to eliminate this language.
