 Wow there is a LOT of stuff in the new release of uv - lockfiles, a pipx alternative, Poetry-style project management, even the ability to manage and download standalone Python versions directly It's taking me a while to dig through all of this https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging 10 comments
@simon uv is super neat indeed. The only thing that makes me nervous about Astral is, that — unless I missed it — it is still completely unclear how they plan to monetize and they don’t come up with their plan (they undoubtedly have one). That could easily become a horrible disaster for the Python ecosystem, which is a pretty big prey. @fpbhb the only clues as to their monetization strategy right now are here: https://astral.sh/blog/announcing-astral-the-company-behind-ruff#whats-next > In the future, we’ll build and sell services on top of our tools — but the tools themselves will remain free and open-source. @simon So much to unpack. As a minor-minor-nice-to-have (but really wish Python would settle on something here)...scaffold/template support: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/4759 Published some more detailed notes on today's huge new uv release https://simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/20/uv-unified-python-packaging/ @simon a lot of this is incorporating stuff from rye: https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/discussions/1342  @simon If you were an experienced team but new to Python and bumbling along (fine so far) with pip and venv, would you adopt this now? @ratkins it’s less than 24 hours old so I might hold off to let any bugs get shaken out of it first, but I’d be tempted to be a very early adopter I think @simon You have to add `-S` to `env` when using `/usr/bin/env` in the shebang if you want to provide parameters to the script |
