that's very unfair towards the both uv (uv is great) and the absolutely atrocious state of Python tooling until basically 2025 (slow and brittle, if it was even installed - hello, debian derivatives). uv is the cargo of Python we've been waiting for and it is expected you won't need to learn anything else for a long time.

I just watched an experienced programmer on twitch struggle for an hour trying to install a Python-written program using UV! The churn is real, and distributing python programs is still a mess.
IMO, Python is great. But deploying Python is more work than learning Rust, oh and the tooling is something that requires continual education: I hear UV is what all the serious python teams are using now. Better learn it or be left behind!
Meanwhile, vanilla Rust has everything you need. I'm glad I understood sunk cost fallacy and got out of Python after many months of coming up to speed with it.
