The rules_python maintainers would like to depend on rules_uv to re-publish the pip_compile macro, but there's some uncertainty around whether a circular dependency between rules_uv and rules_python would cause problems. rules_uv only depends on there existing a Python toolchain at execution time, and otherwise doesn't need the explicit dependency, so we can remove it.
Summary
Remove the rules_python dependency from the main module and add it back in examples. Update the readme to help users continue to have a functioning ruleset.
