WAT? uv now belongs to Trump mega-donors? That is not good for the Python ecosystem.

"Join"... Sigh. Disgusting LI-slop language. Say "be acquired" when you mean "be acquired".

So, any good alternatives to uv?

pixi? https://pixi.prefix.dev/latest/

Have not tried it too much yet because I was pretty content with `uv`, but I've heard lots of good things about it

It literally says on the homepage/the page you linked, that pixi is just a frontend for uv in the background to interface with PyPI and the project TOML files.

that isn't quite true, it defaults to conda packages (and so supports non-pypi things, its main advantage), I believe only when you are mixing these with pypi packages does it then also use the same resolution library backend as uv (and indeed directly at the rust level) https://pixi.prefix.dev/latest/concepts/conda_pypi/

Pretty sure that uses UV to do it's magic

pixi offloads PyPI ecosystem stuff to uv, but pixi is conda first. The team were actually the first to build a Rust based Python package resolver (rip), but after uv was released they migrated to uv's resolver (Python package resolvers are hard and a lot of work to build and must be tested against the whole ecosystem).
