It handles virtual environments, dependency installation, and command execution automatically without manual activation. The tool supports migration from existing requirements.txt files, works with pyproject.toml for better dependency management, and provides lock files for reproducible installs. UV is compatible with the standard Python packaging ecosystem, making it easy to adopt in new projects or gradually migrate existing ones without rewriting code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
