uv

brew install uv v0.11.23 Apache-2.0 OR MIT

Rust-based Python package installer and dependency resolver, orders of magnitude faster than pip and Poetry.

Why you might care

Drop-in replacement for pip/pip-tools/Poetry that installs Python packages and resolves dependencies in seconds instead of minutes. Single binary, no Python runtime needed to run uv itself. Handles lock files, virtual environments, and script execution—radically speeds up CI/CD and local Python workflows.
