I thought this was worthy of it’s own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.
I for one can’t wait for non-deterministic package management
“You’re absolutely right, I did install the wrong package and infect your system with malware. I will try much harder next time”
i highly recommend this excellent thread.
uv has a CLAUDE.md since January. Sooo, back to pip it is?
There is poetry for package management. Apparently uv is substantially faster at solving package dependencies although poetry is more feature rich. (I’ve only used poetry, so I know it is adequate, but I have had times I’ve sat there for minutes or even tens of minutes while it worked through installing all the right versions of all the right libraries.)
