alt Hacker Newsuv is generally more secure than pip. It resolves dependencies without executing arbitrary code, verifies package hashes by default, and avoids common risks like typosquatting and code execution during install. It's also faster and more reproducible.

I'd be interested to know under what circumstances pip executes arbitrary code while resolving dependencies ... how does that work ?
And while I'm here ... how does uv go about mitigating typosquatting risks ? I could imagine how it might issue warnings if you perhaps it notices you requesting "dlango", which would work OK for the top 10% but are you suggesting there's some more general solution built into uv ?
I did a quick search but 'typosquatting' is not an easy string to cut through.
