I heard it is very good . But it seems RHEL still ship with pip instead of uv.
Doesn’t matter; you can install it yourself. Let us know how it goes.
I’ve been using pyenv for all of my previous projects, will try UV in the next one.
I’ve been meaning to try out UV, but just haven’t had the time. It looks really cool though. For anyone who hasn’t heard of it, it’s made by the same folks behind Ruff, the code formatter and linter. They’re also working on Ty, a type checker and language server.
uv is great. I use it for a few months now and it completely replaced miniconda for my use cases.
