Honestly just look at the dismal history of Python and package management. easy_install, setuptools, pip(x), conda, poetry, uv. Hell I might even be missing one

- the__alchemist 8mo agoUV (And a similar tool I built earlier) does solve it. With the important note: This was made feasible due to standardizing on pyproject toml, and wheel files. And being able to compile a diff wheel for each OS/Arch combo, and have the correct one download and installed automatically. And in the case of linux, the manylinux target. I think the old python libs that did arbitrary things in setup.py was a lost cause.
- fridder 8mo agoI hope it solves it, but I've seen that stated before
- the__alchemist 8mo agoHah yea I agree with that mindset. Poetry, Pipenv, pyenv, venv and Conda were all fakers for me!
- nylonstrung 8mo agoI think uv has genuinely permanently solved python package management as well as could be possible in 2026 None of the other pip replacements were actually good software like uv
