#23429 Support for `uv` within `python-bootstrap` subsystem Issue created by zach-overflow Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be ideal if the

python-bootstrap

subsystem could rely on

uv

-installed Python interpreters, with a simple`"<UV>"` directive, similar to how the subsystem currently supports

pyenv

-installed interpreters via

"<PYENV>"

. This would also help to keep the number of tools required for a CI pants build step, particularly in projects which already rely on

uv

for package management. If there already is support for this, then I think this feature request could become a documentation request. Describe the solution you'd like One-liner subsystem support for bootstrapping with uv-installed Python interpreters, ideally with the following simple syntax: [python-bootstrap] search_path = ["<UV>"] Describe alternatives you've considered There's maybe some alternative for hardcoding the uv-install path, but this request is specifically to enable support that is as simple as the

"<PYENV>"

directive, so I don't think there's a comparable alternative at the moment. Additional context • I saw this past issue, but my understanding is the current implementation is quite different from when that issue was created. pantsbuild/pants
