Why modern tools matter

You’ve learned pip and virtual environments - that’s great! But there’s a better way. Enter uv: A modern Python package manager that’s:
  • 10-100x faster than pip
  • Simpler to use
  • More reliable
  • All-in-one tool

The problem with pip

Traditional Python development has pain points:
  • Slow package installation
  • Confusing virtual environment commands
  • Different tools for different tasks
  • Easy to mess up your environment

What is uv?

uv is a single tool that replaces:
  • pip (package installer)
  • venv (virtual environments)
  • pip-tools (dependency management)
  • pyenv (Python version management)
Written in Rust, it’s blazingly fast and just works.

What you’ll learn

Once you try uv, you’ll never go back to pip. It’s that much better!
