What if one tool could manage both your Python packages and compiled system libraries?
uv installs Python packages from PyPI, but it doesn't support compiled C/C libraries.
The typical workaround is to install system libraries separately using an OS package manager, then manually align versions with your Python dependencies.
Since these system dependencies aren't captured in project files, reproducing the environment across machines can be unreliable.
pixi solves this by managing both Python packages from PyPI and compiled system libraries from conda-forge in a single tool.
Quick comparison:
• uv: fast, reliable lockfiles, Python-only
• conda: system libraries supported, but slower and no lockfiles
• pixi: fast, unified, with system libraries, lockfiles, and a built-in task runner
In this article, I compare uv and pixi on a real ML project so you can see how they perform in practice.

Do you trust a package released two hours ago in production?
Installing updated package versions is essential to benefit from new features and bug fixes.
However, freshly released versions can introduce bugs or incompatibilities before the community has time to catch them.
uv's exclude-newer option lets you set a cooldown period to skip packages released within a specified timeframe.
To use it, add exclude-newer = "7 days" to pyproject.toml and customize the duration as needed.
