Then it would probably be back to Poetry. Or some other newcomer, or maybe a fork of uv.

Never used any of their tools.

Python is doing great, other than still doing baby steps into having a JIT in CPython.

Our entire business runs on Python without a drop of Astral in the mix. No one would even notice.

I don't want to even think about it. uv has been a revelation!

#1, uv is open-source and it could easily be forked and kept up to date.

#2, if you don't like uv, you can switch to something else.

uv probably has the least moat around it of anything. Truly a meritocracy: people use it because it's good, not because they're stuck with it.

Finally, an event capable of killing the Python demon!
