Manage entire Python projects and even Python itself with a single unified tool.

TL;DR: uv is an extremely fast Python package manager, written in Rust.

    as you might have guessed i haven’t really tried it, but i have been reading about it. that said i have used “drop in replacement” tools like this (we use pnpm at work), and a drop in replacement is not without quirks. they wouldn’t have made a different tool altogether if it was really a 1:1 replacement. just because the commands are the same doesn’t mean it behaves the same. i.e. i doubt one person on the team could be using uv while everyone else sticks to pip

      Why not? It’s 10x faster.

      I think it might have some other new features but you don’t need to use those.

      This is exactly what we do at work. There’s no way I could convince everyone to switch to uv so I just switch between them based on an environment variable.

      It even supports random stuff like pip install --config-settings editable_mode=compat --editable foo which is required for static tooling to work (e.g. Pyright).
