Fun with uv and PEP 723

Between yesterday's thread and this thread I decided to finally give uv a shot today - I'm impressed, both by the speed and how easy it is to manage dependencies for a project.

I think their docs could use a little bit of work, especially there should be a defined path to switch from a requirements.txt based workflow to uv. Also I felt like it's a little confusing how to define a python version for a specific project (it's defined in both .python-version and pyproject.toml)

Same, although I think it doesn't support my idiosyncratic workflow. I have the same files sync'd (via dropbox at the moment) on all my computers, macos and windows and wsl alike, and I just treat every computer likes it's the same computer. I thought this might be a recipe for disaster when I started doing it years ago but I have never had problems.

Some stuff like npm or dotnet do need an npm update / dotnet restore when I switch platforms. At first attempt uv seems like it just doesn't really like this and takes a fair bit of work to clean it up when switching platforms, while using venvs was fine.
