That’s so cool, to bad we just moved all of our apis from python to go/golang

mindfulforever1.bsky.social•79 days ago

uv, has been my best upgrade in the python toolkit. love it!

johannbeukes.com•79 days ago

Any vids or write ups you’ve done on it?

svpino.com•79 days ago

I haven't written anything, and I also haven't checked any videos about it, but I'd recommend you check their docs. They are easy to follow.

I remember it took me less than 1 hour to completely migrate a project from venv over to uv.

raviraiml.bsky.social•79 days ago

nice, I'm looking forward to trying it. Poetry has been pretty annoying lately for whatever reason - probably cause I'm on windows though lol

svpino.com•79 days ago

Yeah… windows is the worst for all of this.

really cool!

I don’t have much of a use for uvx beyond quickly trying things tbh. It’s nice, but uv tool install is my daily driver for CLIs

jkyamog.bsky.social•78 days ago

I didn’t realize uv had more into it. I did discover it a few days ago where a langflow would not work with pip install reaching max resolution. Saw a comment to use uv, resolved it quickly and I was impressed.

@rafeej.bsky.social rust to the rescue

rafeej.bsky.social•78 days ago

Maybe I'll look into that. But still doesn't answer my original question of installing Python correctly

danbarclay.dev•78 days ago

Sounds like a dead language to me if there isn’t even a consensus on how to install it 😏

spamsch.bsky.social•78 days ago

Using it since it came out and never been disappointed. It gets only better with each release.

I'm happy you pythonians finally got something decent. It was long overdue. 🎉

lukehollenback.me•79 days ago

Going to check it out.

paulabartabajo.com•79 days ago

Same here.
Started using it a month ago.
No more piping, venving or poetrying again

dkhundley.com•79 days ago

Alright, I got 2 trusted voices saying it. Time to check it out! 😁

michw.com•79 days ago

Yeah I went down a rabbit hole… uv does a lot more than I realized

stoneagedudeman.bsky.social•79 days ago

Im just getting into python. Would it be worth becoming familiar with those other tools, or is uv just a strict all package upgrade?

svpino.com•79 days ago

You’ll eventually run into all of the other tools, but if you are starting, pick the best out there and go with it.
