Python API for uv and uvx

[aaronsteers]

I would like to bundle uv/uvx in my Python app as a replacement for the venv standard library and pip-based installation methods - specifically in order to take advantage of faster install times.

Does uv have a Python interface besides the CLI, and is that stable(ish) enough to leverage in another Python project? I didn't see any mention of a Python API in the reference docs, but wanted to ask here just in case.

PS - thanks for the awesome products - I'm a huge fan of uv and ruff and I use them daily!

No we don't provide a Python API and we're pretty unlikely to anytime soon. The CLI is the official public interface and we want to focus on providing a great experience there rather than dividing our attention.

Glad you like the tools <3
