uv

Manage Python packages and virtual environments using a single CLI tool by running uv commands. This unified approach handles dependencies, environments, and script execution without needing multiple separate utilities.

The best way to install dependencies for a Python project with pyproject.toml is using uv sync. This command reads the configuration file and automatically resolves and installs all required packages into the project environment.

You can run standalone Python scripts with their own dependencies using uv. It supports script execution workflows, allowing you to manage and execute single-file Python applications seamlessly alongside larger projects.

You can execute command-line tools without permanent installation using uvx. This feature runs Python applications in isolated environments, ensuring your main project dependencies remain clean and uncluttered.

Yes, uv works with legacy requirements.txt files for compatibility. It integrates with existing dependency lists, allowing you to transition projects to pyproject.toml gradually while maintaining current workflows.

Yes, you need uv installed and configured on your system to manage Python development workflows. Once set up, it replaces multiple traditional tools for handling packages, projects, and environments.
