uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust

Just a few months back I said I would never use uv. I was already used to venv and pip. No need for another tool I thought.

I now use uv for everything Python. The reason for the switch was a shared server where I did not have root and there were all sorts of broken packages/drivers and I needed pytorch. Nothing was working and pip was taking ages. Each user had 10GB of storage allocated and pip's cache was taking up a ton of space & not letting me change the location properly. Switched to uv and everything just worked

If you're still holding out, really just spend 5 minutes trying it out, you won't regret it.

Really? :)

requirements.txt is just hell and torture. If you've ever used modern project/dependency management tools like uv, Poetry, PDM, you'll never go back to pip+requirements.txt. It's crazy and a mess.

uv is super fast and a great tool, but still has roughnesses and bugs.
