Hope they make uv default then. It's nice, but I have to separately create a project with it, and regular python commands don't work with it, both of which go back to it not being default. But even that won't fix all the old projects.
Basically is by now. This is more of a recent thing for frontend JS, but NodeJS (which is more directly comparable to Python) had npm I think from the start.
Those browser JS libs installed via <script> tags though, honestly were pretty convenient in a way.
