Quick question - can we use `UV` to manage deps instead of `PIP` please?

tracking issue: <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/20679>

That requires a lot of work in Pex, along with recognition that UV lacks some important features for this to work.

I think it’s more likely that pip picks up the performance improvements from uv

I assume that this request is motivation by performance rather than a specific need for uv per se?

Hi Benjy, that's correct, yes. We are after the performance so as long as the PIP can get that for us, it's all good hehe
