> things like virtual envs

I consider my point as still valid with UV, what you wanted to express?

On UV specifically - say 'asdf' compiles python right on your system from official sources - means using your ssl libs for example. UV brings Python binary - I feel worried on this.

uv works just as well with whatever Python you want to bring -- you're not required to use the Pythons that uv is capable of installing on your machine.

uv really is working super super super hard to absolve decades of sins and blood in the python world. and doing a good job at redemption.
