Not to gatekeep things but if you think uv solved python dependency issues then you probably never had those issues in the first place and pip would have been enough for your use case. Conda on the other hand, with external binary dependencies, now we're talking.

- simonw 8mo agoThe key issue uv solved wasn't dependencies, it was environments. I used to have hundreds of venv folders scattered around my machine. These days I use "uv run" or "uvx" or "uv run --with boto3 python" and uv handles all of the bookkeeping for me.
- bmitc 8mo agoPoetry had already solved that.
- saaspirant 8mo agoIt was very slow compared to uv
- simonw 8mo agoWhat's the poetry equivalent of this? uv run --with boto3 python
- bmitc 8mo agoThe claim was: > The key issue uv solved wasn't dependencies, it was environments. and not specific, niche features. I don't know of such a command in Poetry, but it could still be solved with dev groups or running Python in the virtual environment and installing the package.
- simonw 8mo agoThat command is an environment command. It runs Python in a temporary environment with boto3 installed - I use that trick all the time.
- necubi 8mo agoI’m someone who is not a python developer but has to use python tools and run other people’s python code. I have suffered through learning about anaconda, virtualenv, pip, and more. Uv is the first time there’s a tool that just runs the software without requiring me to become a python ecosystem expert
- freehorse 8mo agoWell it is much faster so you can keep iterating installing dependencies until you fix the issue in much less time
- roflcopter69 8mo ago+1 for Conda. I also have to mention pixi (https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi) which kinda is a uv for the Conda ecosystem. Highly recommend!
