pipx run uv install uv 😄
uv is a tool written in Rust that replaces as a 95% drop-in replacement pip, pipx, pip-tools and a few other things.
So far it's looking pretty cool. It's faster, I guess, and the output is a bit neater and more "interactive" or "live".
One great thing is that you can have a globally installed uv and it will operate correctly in whatever your current Python environment, whereas with pip-tools you always need to take care to run the one installed in the environment you're compiling the pinned dependencies for, or it will calculate python version wrong for the dependencies that are conditional on that.
