Python UV Package Management

Core Principle

UV is the modern standard for Python dependency management. It provides deterministic resolution, 10-100x speed improvement over pip, and built-in virtual environment management.

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up new Python projects
• Managing Python dependencies
• Running .py files and commands
• Running python tools like pytest and ruff
• Creating Dockerfiles for Python applications
• CI/CD pipelines for Python
• Migrating from pip/poetry to UV

Why UV Over Alternatives
