And with nanodjango&#39;s django-distill support it works as a static site builder - use django&#39;s db and admin to generate static pages (eg blog), or have an easier transition to a live site.<br/><br/>Example here <a href="https://github.com/radiac/django-nanopages/tree/main/example">https://github.com/radiac/django-nanopages/tree/main/example</a> 2025-07-02T16:50:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxjxjsfl8gf0teeel7cpsgr3ardlfqnf4q6mmdx74xcke6xsh3aegzypzjny4n9ehal86jmfwfmk9dn5znj2943t9yggjaw5ys35ucctk0ch59w4x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstspxjwdzp440f0t7hg2djpf3zt0yl2axjdg0awxf7xsuffhukugsqmp3s5'>nevent1q…p3s5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The &#34;new ideas of its own&#34; was too strong, and I came across as far more negative about uv than I actually am. It is a great tool, and overall it&#39;s a big positive for the python world.<br/><br/>I was just thinking of poor pipx who has been doing what uvx does for over 6 years, and were first to implement PEP 723 by quite some time. Whenever I hear someone say &#34;Oh look at what uv can do!&#34; I want to shout &#34;pipx did it first!&#34; - but I don&#39;t... mostly because I&#39;ve switched to uv. 2024-10-31T13:55:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqa2p9p2555uvvmqvwn24a79wuemp8f26mkgj7u62ljwjc5mdmpxqzypzjny4n9ehal86jmfwfmk9dn5znj2943t9yggjaw5ys35ucctk0cryvq8t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8f80ghzquhztg5a68dk528mn5u4wysvcs5yzhxn076r8vfmrj8rs04lsl8'>nevent1q…lsl8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Definitely. If it does go wrong I&#39;m sure python will find a way forward, but I doubt going back will be an option - I suspect the old tools are going to find it hard to get contributors. Embrace, extend, extinguish.<br/><br/>I&#39;m also sad for those maintainers - uv doesn&#39;t really have new ideas of its own. Whenever I see someone excitedly talk about uv run, I want to shout &#34;pipx has done that for ages!&#34; But I don&#39;t, because uv is faster and easier, which is why I swapped. 2024-10-31T07:50:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs948hjkxgj20qdct6ssua29mrt806qf7hcctuzhdg6w5vjjrtvqjqzypzjny4n9ehal86jmfwfmk9dn5znj2943t9yggjaw5ys35ucctk0cc5jrpm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqcjrsup34f4xmf3le0at6uvjf8kygfg5jzhc9m2psvypn8f57lgc3xqk8a'>nevent1q…qk8a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>that&#39;s the good and bad thing about uv - we&#39;ve been able to do all of this before with venv, pip, pip-tools, pipx, pyenv and poetry, but uv makes it all so fast and convenient.<br/><br/>Great news for us, but terrible news for those projects, and despite assurances I can&#39;t help but feel uneasy that I&#39;ve suddenly become so reliant on a tool that&#39;s built with VC cash. 2024-10-31T06:58:28Z
