uv works so well for the vast majority of scenarios that I don't really see a demand for further innovation in the Python package manager domain.

yeah we all heard that story every 3 months with all the previous package managers. until there's adoption by an overwhelming majority of projects, it isn't really settled yet.

    I’ve literally never heard that much buzz and excitement about Python tool before. And I’ve seen them all.

    All of them had some big issue that prevented it from getting mainstream. Either it was slow, or didn’t work with existing workflow, or had complex configuration, or something that prevented gradual adoption.

    uv is universally praised as the second coming Christ in Python world (and for a good reason). So no, I doubt there will be something else. Not only you need to be better than uv, you also need to have community momentum.

      Using Python in one form or the other since Python 1.6, there is always some buzz for whatever tool now and then.
