uv 0.11.23
An extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust. A single tool replacing pip, pip-tools, pipx, poetry, pyenv, twine, virtualenv, and more — 10-100x faster than pip.
Overview
uv provides four main interfaces:
- Projects — Full project management with lockfiles, workspaces, and environments (
uv init, uv add, uv run, uv sync, uv lock)
- Scripts — Run Python scripts with on-demand dependency resolution, including inline metadata (PEP 723)
- Tools — Install and run CLI tools from Python packages, like
pipx (uvx, uv tool install)
- Python versions — Install and manage Python interpreters, auto-downloading as needed
It also includes a pip-compatible interface (uv pip install, uv pip compile, uv venv) for gradual migration from existing workflows.
