Nice! I've recently discovered direnv too and can't believe I've coped this long without it. I currently use virtualenvwrapper and direnv to activate those (I much prefer having the venv root outside of the project dirs; not everything respects gitignore files by default). I didn't know about uv and PDM. I use pip-tools and there has been some work to adapt it to support multiple Python interpreters. My main gripe is it can't be installed once with pipx, for example, and just work. But it seems difficult. Perhaps uv suffers from the same problem. Interested to see how PDM deals with it. > While direnv has built-in support for the standard library’s venv module, it’s glacial. virtualenv is much faster, but uv is faster, still. I've never been bothered by the speed of venv. It does what it needs to do in milliseconds and it's not like I'm calling it that often. Why is the speed of it important?
