I write an ebook on Python Developer tooling. I've attempted to address some of the weaknesses in the official documentation.

How to migrate from requirements.txt: https://pydevtools.com/handbook/how-to/migrate-requirements.... How to change the Python version of a uv project: https://pydevtools.com/handbook/how-to/how-to-change-the-pyt...

Let me know if there are other topics I can hit that would be helpful!

This would’ve been really handy for me a few weeks ago when I ended up working this out for myself (not a huge job, but more effort than reading your documentation would’ve been). While I can’t think of anything missing off the top of my head, I do think a PR to uv to update the official docs would help a lot of folk!

Actually, I’ve thought of something! Migrating from poetry! It’s something I’ve been meaning to look at automating for a while now (I really don’t like poetry).

This is wonderful. When I was learning I found the documentation inadequate and gpt4 ran in circles as I did not know what to ask (I did not realize “how do I use uv instead of conda/pip?” was a fundamentally flawed question).
