Can I use this for existing Python projects?

Absolutely. This skill includes instructions for migrating requirements.txt or pyproject.toml files into the uv ecosystem effortlessly.

How much faster is uv compared to pip?

uv is typically 10-100x faster than pip because it is written in Rust and utilizes a sophisticated global cache to prevent redundant network requests and disk operations.

Can uv replace Poetry or Pip-tools?

Yes, uv is designed as a drop-in replacement for the core functionality of pip, pip-tools, and poetry, offering faster dependency locking and environment synchronization.

Does this skill help with Docker optimization?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for multi-stage Docker builds that use uv to minimize build times and create smaller, more efficient production images.

How does uv handle Python versions?

uv includes built-in support for downloading and managing specific Python interpreters, allowing you to pin project versions without needing external tools like pyenv.
