Alright, I'm very comfortable with the `pip install -v -r requirements.txt" way of life, using venv to create a quick environment for the project. Everyone seems to love uv, and I don't want to be the grumpy old man who refuses to use a cool new tool. Any links to a clear, text-based introduction to using uv for folks familiar with requirements documentation and venvs? Answer from Henry_the_Butler on reddit.com

r/programming on Reddit: Never thought I'd be saying this but switching over to uv from pip was worth it
June 27, 2024 - It's not just about speed. uv is a replacement for python -m venv + pip but is a much better design than those two together. Why the heck does venv install pip into itself as another local copy?! That was always a silly idea.

r/learnpython on Reddit: Which Python package manager do you prefer, uv or pip?
October 29, 2025 -
My background is a golang engineer, and now I am transferring to the AI field, starting to learn Python, and I find that it is too weak in engineering, which may be due to my lack of experience. Recently, I found that the UV tool is one that I use very smoothly, the management is very good, the underlying Rust language implementation is very fast, and I like it very much.

pip and uv are not the same kind of thing really. pip just installs packages. uv manages them. It also does it really well, and very fast, and it's completely comprehensive. If you have a uv package, ALL you need to have installed is uv - it can install and manage the appropriate python versions for you. You can even make standalone scripts with their requirements embedded in them, that are automatically installed as needed by pip, including installing python as needed. This means that if I need to have a non-programmer run something, all they need installed is uv itself, nothing else. (I haven't tried this on windows but if it works that would be incredible, download this and double click on it to run)

You should use uv. Don’t even install or worry about python. Just use whatever package manager like brew, winget, or the uv install script and let uv handle installing whatever python version you need. Don’t activate a virtual environment or worry about a virtual environment or dependencies. Just use uv and everything else will just work. It’s insane how much friction uv gets rid of. Even start your project with uv init —package and let it get everything started for you.

I'm gonna be using streamlit for frontend.
So I learn about env and stuff and learnt that uv manages that all on it's own? What should I do?

as others have stated, i’d highly recommend using pip first until you feel like you fully understand what’s happening under the hood. Once you feel comfortable interacting with libraries in this way, then 100000% absolutely switch to uv. UV can feel super complicated if you’re not familiar with how it works so i wouldn’t recommend starting here, but you should absolutely plan on getting here

January 31, 2026 - In sum, uv needs to know upfront whether the resolver should accept pre-releases for a given package. Meanwhile pip, respects pre-release identifiers in transitive dependencies, and allows pre-releases of transitive dependencies if no stable versions match the dependency requirements.

Faster package installation means quicker setup for new projects, faster updates, and shorter wait times in automated environments like continuous integration (CI) pipelines. uv achieves this speed by being written in Rust and executing tasks in parallel. Where pip often downloads and installs packages one by one, uv can fetch many at once.
