> Oh, yet another python dependency tool. I have used a handful of them, and they keep coming
Yeah that's my opinion of all the other Python dependency tools, but uv is the real deal. It's fast, well designed, it's actually a drop-in replacement for pip and it actually works.
> I guess no work is important enough until it gets a super fast CLI written in the language du jour and installed by piping curl into sh
Yeah it's pretty nice that it's written in Rust so it's fast and reliable, and piping curl into sh makes it easy to install. Huge upgrade compared to the rest of Python tooling which is slow, janky and hard to install. Seriously the official way to install a recent Python on Linux is to build it from source!
It's a shame curl | bash is the best option we have but it does at least work reliably. Maybe one day the Linux community will come up with something better.
