uv does not ship system libraries because pypi does not have them. There is a philosophical difference between pypi and conda today. I believe over time pypi will likely ship some system libraries but we will see.
- qwertox 2y agoSo uv is resticted to pypi but does offer isolated Python installations, with precompiled Python binaries?
- chippiewill 2y agoYeah it has precompiled Python binaries. They're custom standalone builds of CPython: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone You can also import existing Python versions into uv, for example on my Mac it has imported the Homebrew versions.
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoIt doesn’t “restrict” to pypi but it wants to be rooted in pypi. That means if you install “tensorflow” you get it from there. The state of pypi is the state of pypi and I have some hope that this also will improve. See for instance the efforts that go into “wheel next”.
