Pants

Are there any plans for a `uv` backend for Pants? It would be great to use their Python install features at least rather than pyenv

If you're looking for an alternative to pyenv there was a new python-build-standalone backend added recently (the same library that uv uses underneath)

There's also an open issue for adding a uv backend: <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21362|https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21362>

Ah nice, that’s another option I was thinking about - pyenv is great but the need to build for every install is annoying, and the options on macOS are a bit of a mess (brew…), thanks!

FWIW I am looking at integrating uv for this as well as for linting/formatting (but not for resolving, that is a whole other kettle of fish) into the <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/discussions/20897|new python backend>

Resolving would be interesting, especially with speedy multi-platform resolves - but AFAIU Pex can do this already no?
