  3. spack

    A flexible package manager that supports multiple versions, configurations, platforms, and compilers.

    You could use a package manager that packages C, C++, Fortran and Python packages such as Spack: here's the py-shapely recipe [1] and here is geos [2]. Probably nix does similar.

  4. PDM

    A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards

    As much as I am glad that it looks like one solution is being more and more accepted as the golden standard, I'm a little disappointed that PDM [0] -- which has been offering pretty much everything uv does for quite some time now -- has been completely overlooked. :(

  5. tox-uv

    Use https://github.com/astral-sh/uv with tox

    I'm not personally releasing a ton of internal packages where I work but I know of https://github.com/tox-dev/tox-uv. Haven't tried it yet though but it seems to do what you want. I also saw that nox (tox but in python instead of a tox.ini file https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/config.html), is supporting uv from what I understand.

    I don't think there's a definite answer yet.

  6. python-build-standalone

    Produce redistributable builds of Python

    Yeah it has precompiled Python binaries. They're custom standalone builds of CPython: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone

  7. pixi

    Package management made easy

    Have you checked out https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi? It's built by the folks who developed Mamba (a faster Conda implementation). It has support for PyPI dependencies using UV, first-class support for multi-envs and lockfiles, and can be used to manage other system dependencies like CUDA.

  8. direnv

    unclutter your .profile

    I'm not them, but I use `direnv` for this. Their wiki includes two layout_uv[1] scripts, one that uses `uv` just to activate a regular venv and a second that uses it to manage the whole project. I use the latter.
