Install fails when UV sources are a list

[mdekstrand]

Issue

When entries in tools.uv.sources are lists instead of dictionaries, as is common in forked dependency structures such as multi-backend PyTorch setups, tox fails to install the virtual environment.

Example pyproject.toml snippet:

[tool.uv.sources]
torch = [
  { index = "pytorch-cpu", group = "cpu" },
  { index = "pytorch-gpu", group = "gpu" },
]

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

After reviewing this function, it appears this line is assuming that tool.uv.sources maps package names to objects, but it is allowed to map them to lists of objects.

Environment

Provide at least:

• OS: macOS

Output of pip list of the host Python, where tox is installed

not sure how to get this when using recommended uv tool install setup.

Hi all,

I encountered this issue as well. Seems this occurs when parsing for workspace packages.

Would there ever be an instance where a list would be present for a workspace source? I wasn't able to find any information on the uv docs on this or example.

Otherwise, I guess tox-uv would then need to determine which item in the list to use which could depend on a group, or some other marker like sys_platform, python version, etc.

Would adding a simple check that the sources object is a dict here be sufficient? https://github.com/tox-dev/tox-uv/blob/main/src/tox_uv/_installer.py#L119
