Nice feature. However uv is suspect at the moment, in the sense that it is designed as a pip replacement to overcome issues that only exist when supply chains are of a size that isn't safe to have.

So any project that has UV and any developer that tries to get uv into a project is on average less safe than a project that just uses pip and a requirements.txt

Sorry - call me uninformed. But I do not really understand how choosing uv makes me less safe than using pip.

Care to explain? Would love to learn.

I really am not able to follow this line of reasoning, I am not sure if what you said makes sense and how it relates to uv having a security feature to be on average less safe :/

This is complete nonsense. pip has all the same problems that you say uv has.

Huh?

Wanting a better pip means I am unsafe?
