The install speed alone makes it worthwhile for me. It went from minutes to seconds.

  I was working on a Raspberry Pi at a hackathon, and pip install was eating several minutes at a time. Tried uv for the first time and it was down to seconds.

    Why would you be redoing your venv more than once?
    • dagw 2y ago
      Once rebuilding your venv takes negligible time, it opens up for all kinds of new ways to develop. For example I now always run my tests in a clean environment, just to make sure I haven't added anything that only happens to work in my dev venv.

        That's smart. Oh, you used `pip install` to fix a missing import, but forgot to add it to pyproject.toml? You'll find out quickly.

        I thought you wanted to test your program, but seems you want to make sure that your unzip library keeps working :D

      It has nothing to do with redoing venv: some package installs were just taking multiple minutes. I cancelled one at 4 minutes before switching to uv and having it finish in a few seconds

        If only linux distributions had existed for decades…

          Not sure how a linux distribution replaces python package management but ok?
