Wow, they (apparently) finally made the REPL not suck! I always thought it was weird how shit it was given that it's one of the big reasons Python has become as popular as it is.

Maybe in another 20 years they can make the package tooling not suck too.

Tbf, uv is trying to solve packaging now

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's definitely a vast improvement on previous attempts (Poetry et al).

I dunno if it can be called solved until it's officially sanctioned and installed by default though, and I don't see that happening for a very long time.

How is it better than poetry?

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

It actually works. I tried poetry once and it failed to resolve some simple dependency specification.

Ok you can say it was a fluke bug but it didn't inspire confidence.

uv is also freakishly fast. My venv setup times went from 57 seconds to 7 seconds. I seriously doubt Poetry can do that because it's written in Python.

I abandoned poetry after it was unable to install a specific version of pytorch I was using.

In pip I would do something like pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118, but IIRC poetry didn't support the --index-url option.
