It's been six months since I asked whether #uv is the future of #Python packaging: https://youtu.be/_FdjW47Au30With uv 0.3.0, the answer is IN and I'll tell ...
I’ve been mostly a poetry guy but have tested out uv a bit lately. Two main advantages I see are being able to install Python (I relied on pyenv before) and it’s waaay faster at solving/installing dependencies.
We’re using poetry and it solves our problems. I’ll have to look into uv, but I don’t feel in any rush to switch away from poetry.

Yeah, it certainly looks nice, but my problems are:
So for me, it needs to at least have feature parity w/ poetry to seriously consider.
uv is still faster with a cold cache
and uv does have dep groups
about the second problem, there’s an issue open on writing a migration guide, but migrating manually is not too difficult.
You should be using dockers cache mounts

Good call. We have some other tech debt related to our docker usage, so I’ll add this to the list.
