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

Seems a lot of people like this and are happy about it, but I for one am tired of the proliferation of python package management tools.

Many languages have many package management tools but most languages there are one or two really popular ones.

For python you just have to memorize this basically:

- Does the project have a setup.py? if so, first run several other commands before you can run it. python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .

- else does it have a requirements.txt? if so python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt

- else does it have a pyproject.toml? if so poetry install and then prefix all commands with poetry run

- else does it have a pipfile? pipenv install and then prefix all commands with pipenv run

- else does it have an environment.yml? if so conda env create -f environment.yml and then look inside the file and conda activate <environment_name>

- else I have not had to learn the rules for uv yet

Thank goodness these days I just open up a cursor tab and say "get this project running"
