How does this skill help with Docker optimization?

It provides optimized multi-stage Dockerfile patterns that leverage uv's frozen lockfiles and fast installation to create smaller, more secure production images.

Can I use uv with existing Poetry projects?

Yes, uv is highly compatible with the pyproject.toml standard and can be used to sync dependencies or migrate projects from Poetry and pip-tools.

What is the main advantage of using uv over pip?

The primary advantage is speed; uv is written in Rust and is typically 10-100x faster than pip for resolving and installing Python dependencies.

Does uv handle Python version management?

Yes, uv includes built-in commands to install, list, and pin specific Python versions, removing the need for separate tools like pyenv.

Is uv compatible with requirements.txt files?

Absolutely. uv can install dependencies directly from requirements.txt and can also export its own lockfile back into the requirements format.
