What is uv?

It’s a package manager for Python (among other things) that is simultaneously correct and performant. It’s getting a lot of attention these days.

I highly recommend it over all conceivable alternatives.

How likely is this to be another npm/yarn situation? I have used a number of Python tools that in the long run turned out to be less portable and less usable than plain Pip and virtualenv. I do use pyenv for a personal setup but not for any production use.

Seems that it interprets a special comment block, then automatically creates a python venv and gathers dependencies. As the post[1] says, it obviates "faffing" with venv and pip to run a script.
