# "uv: Towards a unified vision for Python tooling"

This is a great post](https://thedataquarry.com/posts/towards-a-unified-python-toolchain/) by [Prashanth Rao](https://www.linkedin.com/in/prrao87/) on the unified vision that [uv](https://pydevtools.com/handbook/reference/uv.md) brings for Python package and project management. As he shares, the tools in this space have been improving over the last 15 years, but uv is a step-change for usability.

The most remarkable aspect of uv is the list of steps he shares that (might) happen when you call `uv run hello.py`:

> 1. Installs Python if it’s not already installed
> 2. Creates and activates the virtual environment
> 3. Installs the dependencies
> 4. Runs the code

And all of this happens with blazing speed.

Not only will this make Python developers happier, it solves many of the pain points that are often a barrier to new developers. I'm here for it!
