The reason I mostly use Python is `python3 -mvenv env`. If I know that everything I might want is part of Perl's built-in modules, I prefer Perl.

Psst: even if you aren't using uv, you can use a global pip with `--python` and create your venvs `--without-pip` to save time (unless you have many invocations per venv, since `--python` works through a not-very-sane hack and is a bit slower as a result). And you can use Pipx to provision that global pip, and then you also have Pipx available. https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2025/01/07/python-packaging-...
