TL;DR: uv is an extremely fast Python package manager, written in Rust.

Yes. For the project I work on pip install takes about 60 seconds and replacing it with uv reduces that to about 7 seconds. That's a very significant improvement. Much less annoying interactively and in CI we do this multiple times so it saves a significant chunk of time.

Just out of curiosity, how often do you have to run pip install?

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 4 points 4 weeks ago

I dunno maybe once a week or so? We don't actually have a system that detects if your pip install is out of sync with pyproject.toml yet so I run it occasionally just to make sure.

And it runs in CI around a dozen times for each PR. Yeah not ideal but there are goodish reasons which I can explain if you want.

No, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining.

I like hearing about other people's environments, because it gives perspective.
