I’ve been a python dev for nearly a decade and never once thought dep management was a problem.

If I’ve ever had to run a “script” in any type of deployed ENV it’s always been done in that ENVs python shell .

So I still don’t see what the fuss is about?

I work on a massive python code base and the only benefit I’ve seen from moving to UV is it has sped up dep installation which has had positive impact on local and CI setup times.

Virtual environments alone are not enough. They don't guarantee deterministic builds. What do you do to ensure that your production environment runs the same code as your local dev environment? How do you solve that problem without dependency managers like uv or poetry?
