#20679 `pants generate-lockfiles` to use `uv` for dependency resolution Issue created by tomecki Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As of now the pip python dependency resolution using

pants generate-lockfiles

can take a very long time. In order to improve the overall UX of

pants

the alternative dependency resolvers can be made available to the users. Describe the solution you'd like https://github.com/astral-sh/uv is designed to be pip-compatible package installer and resolver. From my experience the

uv pip compile

is orders of magnitude faster than default pip dependency resolution. Describe alternatives you've considered This feature could be implemented as opt-in, given the maturity stage of the

uv

project. pantsbuild/pants
