Django Running with uv Package Manager Demo
Hello Django Team,
I recently came across uv, a new Python package manager that claims to be 10-100x faster than pip. Given Django's focus on developer productivity and performance, I was wondering if the team has considered testing or providing an official demo of a Django application using uv for package management.
A simple demo or documentation update could help the community explore this new tool efficiently.
Thanks for your time and all the work you do on Django!
There are a lot of blog posts on uv, and then also uv & django.
Found the following from a quick search, and it looks particularly useful and in depth; https://blog.pecar.me/uv-with-django
In my opinion, alternative package managers are out of scope for Django's documentation. I'm going to close this, but thank you for the suggestion @pravintargaryen.
If you feel strongly that mention of uv should be added to Django's documentation, you can open a ticket.
Hi @adamzap 👋 Generally we're trying to discourage folks using Trac for random ideas and suggestions. Instead we have the forum and the new features repo. Thanks.
At a higher level, your initial judgement was right. Maybe we update one day, but for now the existing pip examples are fine, and it's out of scope to cover more. As such, I'd lean to not then suggesting folks raise it elsewhere at all. It just keeps the time sink in motion, but somewhere else, where someone else has to shut it down, again. I hope that makes sense.
Obviously in cases where it's not clear cut, pointing folks in the right direction is the way to go.
