UV (And a similar tool I built earlier) does solve it. With the important note: This was made feasible due to standardizing on pyproject toml, and wheel files. And being able to compile a diff wheel for each OS/Arch combo, and have the correct one download and installed automatically. And in the case of linux, the manylinux target. I think the old python libs that did arbitrary things in setup.py was a lost cause.
