Does this skill help with Docker optimization?

Absolutely, it includes specific patterns for multi-stage Docker builds that leverage uv's speed and global cache to significantly reduce image size and build times.

How does uv handle Python version management?

uv can download, install, and pin specific Python versions for your project using commands like 'uv python install' and 'uv python pin', eliminating the need for separate tools like pyenv.

What makes uv better than pip?

uv is written in Rust and is 10-100x faster than pip. It features a more advanced dependency resolver, built-in virtual environment management, and no Python requirement for the initial installation.

Can I use uv with existing requirements.txt files?

Yes, uv acts as a drop-in replacement for pip and can install packages directly from existing requirements.txt files or export current lockfiles back into the requirements format.
