uv is a high‑performance command‑line tool for managing Python packages, environments, and projects, written in Rust. It combines the functionality of pip, virtualenv, poetry, and other Python tooling into a single fast interface.
Use cases
- install Python packages quickly in a virtual environment
- create and manage Python projects with a lockfile and workspaces
- run Python scripts with inline dependency declarations
- install and switch between multiple Python versions
- publish Python packages to PyPI or other indexes
When to choose
- You need a single tool that replaces pip, poetry, pipx, and virtualenv.
- Performance is critical and you want 10‑100× faster dependency resolution.
- You work on multi‑Python‑version projects and need automatic version management.
When to avoid
- You require deep integration with IDEs that only support pip or conda.
- Your workflow depends on features not yet supported by uv, such as custom build backends.
- You need a GUI or visual package manager.
