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.

I wonder how it compares with something more green generalist like "mise", to which I migrated after using "ASDF" for some time.

Thanks for mentioning mise. I'm more interested in it for the task running feature. I couldn't figure out how to have shell scripts in Justfile, so I gave up on it.

Out of interest - What wasn't working for you?

I use Just inside (and outside) mise, almost exclusively with embedded shell/python scripts. Have used mise tasks a little, but didn't meaningfully add enough for me

Or do you mean justfiles with shebangs?

Either way, curious what problem you hit (and may be able to unblock ya)

From what I remember, the task consisted of several lines of shell and just would just choke at some point. I think it was because I used a new line to visually separate code. I'm not sure, I don't remember exactly as it was some time ago and I just gave up.

Ah fair enough, thanks!

possibly patched now but definitely going to try breaking it now before moving any more stuff into it
