- colechristensen 2y agoI looked into uv a while back and it indeed was considerably faster than pip, but the folks who created it seem like they're trying a business around python tooling and are in the early stages. There is a risk of a rug pull of some kind down the road when they decide they want to make money and that to me was too much of a risk at present. https://astral.sh/about https://astral.sh/about

- the_mitsuhiko 2y agouv unlike all other options has the best shot at becoming the one.
- kstrauser 2y agoSeconded. I tried it when it was the topic around here a month or so back and it blew me away. Wow. I've been writing Python for ~25 years. I dipped my toes in Rust a year ago and quickly appreciated now nice Cargo is for that ecosystem. Uv feels, to me, like Cargo for Python. It doesn't do anything I couldn't already do with other tools. It just combines those other tools' functions into one cohesive, ridiculously fast, ergonomic tool. I won't say anything bad about Poetry. I used that prior to uv. I don't want to return to it though.
