`uv` is not a new standard though, just a wrapper.

  • `uv` is definitely not a wrapper. It's written from scratch. If you mean by wrapper that it's mostly compatible with pip (using `uv pip`), that's one of their adoption strategies to make it easier to switch to. But it does a lot more than that.

  • I mean, it's right there as the first highlight in the docs

    > A single tool to replace pip, pip-tools, pipx, poetry, pyenv, twine, virtualenv, and more.
