uv for Python is a game changer, better than anything else out there and solves a lot of the core problems with pip/venv/poetry/pyenv (the list goes on).

I feel like you can write some variant of this comment every few years and just add the previous "best" to the front of the stack of things it's better than.

You're not wrong, this is the nth iteration of python tools that try to solve all the problems of what came before, including whatever the n-1th iteration introduced.

That said, in my personal experience with uv, it solves nearly all of the problems I've come across that were created by other python package management tools. It seems to have been very thoughtfully designed and I think there's a strong chance it'll become the standard, and that there won't need to be more standards after this. We'll see!

It’s true - people were saying that Poetry solves these problems for ages. Maybe uv does? I’ll wait and see.

This time they've got it for sure!

Jupyter might have fixed this now because it’s been a while since I used it, but Mix.install inline in Livebook (or any CLI script) is so much nicer than how installing Python dependencies in notebooks was last time I did that too.
