UV is an extremely fast Python package installer, virtual environment creator, dependency resolver, and script runner — all in one. Built in Rust and designed to replace tools like pip, pip-tools, Poetry, virtualenv, and more, UV streamlines Python development like never before. In this video, I break down how UV simplifies everything from project setup and dependency management to script execution and Python versioning. Whether you’re tired of juggling Python tools or just want faster performance, UV might be the only thing you need.
