@simon Thanks for pointing this out. The complete mess of Python packaging has been the worst, most embarrassing aspect of Python to me. Those more expert than me seem less bothered, but trying to explain to newbies how to choose which collection of tools to use just to start writing code has been ridiculous. I just want one good tool.

I'm usually very, very against anything VC-funded but I love what's happening with uv and I really hope it succeeds in a way that keeps people happy.
