<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">uv is a fast Python package manager and task runner that replaces pip, venv, and parts of poetry.uv simplifies project setup and dependency management without the extra overhead.uv init command sets up a project environment, creating a pyproject.toml and setting up the .venv automatically.uv add command allows instant addition of dependencies like 'rich' to your project.Dependencies are added to pyproject.toml, installed, and updated in uv.lock with uv add command.uv run command automatically runs the app inside the managed environment without manual activation of .venv.After cloning or pulling a UV based project, use 'uv venv' to activate the environment and 'uv sync' to install all packages from pyproject.toml.Additional commands like uv pip, uv pip freeze, uv sync --update offer more functionality.Users can change Python versions or specify a version in .python-version using uv.uv provides a more efficient alternative to traditional package management tools in Python.
