I am stuck on the philosophical questions of: would we need to rebrand to uvenv? maybe it should be a whole new project -- but is it realistically much faster when most things are network activity of getting the wheels, and then they still need to be installed? In all seriousness though, it might be worth me taking a deeper look, but we have to admit that pipenv is a big bear hug around pip and so there is a lot to detangle there if there were a motivation to wrap a different package library.
The caching in uv is super impressive. The first build is lightning fast but the second is astonishing especially on a huge set of deps.
+1 for supporting uv
It's been a good ride, but uv
has far surpassed pipenv. Unfortunately this is what historically happens to open source software projects, something evolutionary comes along and kills old solutions.
uv is still pre v1.0, but since August 20 has fully replaced my Pipenv workflow with the implementation of their lock file. https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging
Languages like Go and Rust have quite a different approach to reaching v1.0 than Python does. Once a package has reached v1.0 in these languages it is kind of a commitment to Never break backward compatibility. There is no such commitment w/ Python packages.
There is a lot of discussion about the Rust-based

.Would it be of interest to accelerate

?Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when pipenv builds take several minutes.
Describe the solution you'd like
pipenv builds take seconds instead of minutes.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Switch to non-pipenv solutions for our builds.
