It recursively searches directories for regex patterns while automatically respecting .gitignore rules and filtering hidden and binary files (behavior can be disabled with flags). ripgrep is designed as a faster alternative to grep, The Silver Searcher, and ack, with support for file-type filtering, Unicode, PCRE2 regex engines, and multiple text encodings.\n\nThe package wraps ripgrep for use from Python, making it available to developers who want to integrate fast pattern searching into Python applications or scripts. With no runtime dependencies and active maintenance, it targets modern Python versions (3.8+) across Windows, macOS, and Linux.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to integrate fast regex search into Python and are comfortable with the platform-specific wheel constraints. The package is actively maintained, has no runtime dependencies, uses permissive licensing, and wraps a well-established tool. Install friction is moderate due to platform-specific wheels; verify that your platform (macOS ARM64 or manylinux 2.39 x86_64) is supported or that you can build from source before committing."},"id":"ripgrep","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ripgrep","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ripgrep.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ripgrep/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-24","license_spdx":"Unlicense OR MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ripgrep","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern while respecting gitignore rules. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":414843,"position":6829,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"15.1.0"}
