The Great UV Migration

This might just be my own observation from my little abode on the Interwebs (so take it with a grain of salt), but it’s been a minute since I’ve been excited (and seen much excite) about a piece of Python tooling.

A few months ago, after reading Hynek’s blog, I tweeted:

Now that they’re stable, I’ve slowly begun migrating my personal repositories.

Why you ask?

• Fast. It’s incredibly fast. Did I mention it’s fast? (Think faster tests, build times, and feedback!)
• Workspace support for monorepos. While there’s been quite a number of attempts in Poetry, they always felt very hacky - so I’ve kept my distance.

Nice to haves

I’m still hoping the following issues get addressed as they’re pretty ingrained in my workflow.

• Having a built-in upgrade command. Currently using poetry-plugin-up.
• Dependabot supporting uv.lock

Even with cruft and a cookiecutter template, this is still going to be quite the undertaking.

See y’all in a few years!
