I was actually thinking of creating a python-pipx but for uv instead in archlinux (because arch has some workarounds to do with in pip , you can't just do pip install something , you need to do it with pacman)

I really hope that any developer is reading this and is interested in this project , they do this. because I don't feel like doing it but I honestly feel its impact because I wanted to try nomadnet once on arch machine and I tried pipx and it was so slow



Does `uv tool` fit the bill? https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/tools/

From https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging

> Tool management: `uv tool install` and `uv tool` run (aliased to uvx). uv can now install command-line tools in isolated virtual environments and execute one-off commands without explicit installation (e.g., `uvx ruff check`), making it a high-performance, unified alternative to tools like pipx.


I'm not super familiar with archlinux but maybe `uvx` or `uv run` already do parts of what you want?
