On: Switching from Pyenv to Uv

[eikenberry]

Maybe this one will finally be adopted as the official package manager for Python? Only 20 years late, but it would be a nice development.

Please not. Python core is suffering from corporate capture and ruins everything it touches.

The PSF would probably dig up some old posts from the uv authors, defame them, take the code and make it worse.

Pfft. Pull the other one. The PSF hates the idea of dealing with something so icky.

I have been pretty pleased with uv, but I am continually worried about the funding model. What happens when the VC starts demanding a return?

We fork it. Whatever carrot the VC's dangle can be chased by the handful who care, and the rest of us can continue using the important part.

Ah, so that's why it's written in Rust. Less people who care about Python packaging are capable of forking it.
