UV - Poetry Replacement

UV is an extremely fast dependencies and project manager. It has roughly equivalent in functionality with Poetry, but is much faster.

Installing

$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

New Project

Uses uv init to initialize a project with pyproject.toml configuration file. Use uv add to add new dependencies.

$ uv init example-project
Initialized project `example-project` at `/Users/vpanusuwan/projects/example-project`

$ cd example-project

$ uv add pandas
Using Python 3.9.6 interpreter at: /usr/local/bin/python3

Run Project

Using uv run is similar to poetry run, where the code is executed from within the project

uv run app.py

Visual studio Code Integration

VSCode should automatically picks up the environment in .venv . If not, uses the environment selector on the bottom right corner to do so.
