uv for EVERYTHING: How to use uv for Python, venv, and project management

[@smibssmibs]

Nice explanation. uv is real gamechanger. A note: The explicit creation of venv was not necessary. It is by default done when you add a dependency or even at the moment you use "uv run "

UV is so gooooooood! Thanks for the tutorial ! You Rulllle Matt!

[@mateuszsmendowski2677]

Nice explanation! I used to manage all my environments with pyenv and poetry. However, poetry dependency resolver has its own drawbacks... so far, UV is great :)

Please consider zooming the font in all the app you use for these videos. It's almost imposible to read the text in a phone or on a laptop screen. Otherwise great video!

@@SantiagoRojo thanks for the feedback! Working on making things more visible :)

Thanks, Matt!

Great introduction, I tried uv init my-project in /dev folder and I get uv: command not found? It works in my home folder

[@yxoozo]

Great video! What IDE are you using?

[@vincentjean6756]

vscode

UV is a great toolset, I've started using it on a project. But there are some caveat that are still problematic ( like using it inside of an activated venv but you want to add a package to a remote venv. But the more I use it, the more I like it

[@david121212v]

Actually you can use it in combination with pyenv. I like that pyenv handles venv "centralized" and not in the project folder itself, so your computer remains clean and structured. How do you handle this?

Matt, there is a serious problem with replit right now. Replit non-agent, basic gemini responder, keeps putting my code in git repository every single time I ask it a question or solution. you can track down every time I ask a quesiton, it does :automatic commit before assitant edits. There are no edit that ive asked it to commit. I dont even say apply. IT just does it automatically. it completely trashed my project. i lost a good 40 hours of coding time. Your product use to be good. Now im terrified of asking the basic assistant for a coding solution or suggestion. This started happening arond dec 20/21/22 of 2024. I pay the core price. All I have to show for it now is garbage. I cant resurrect my edits. I even tried creating new branch before asking new questions. Can you revert of fix the problem?

[@noopurp123]

Can uv automatically activate virtual environment if I go into a python project directory and also deactivate if I go out of it?

[@tubero911]

It won’t explicitly run activate or deactivate for you, but if you’re using uv to run your app or pip install/delete a package then uv automatically detects and uses the virtual environment in your project folder.
