Lately I was complaining about the removal of #pipx from official #gentoo repository. It obviously doesn't disallow me to use #pipx by installing it through #pip …
🤡The removal was certainly justified.
What struck me here is that it is now advised to use #astral_uv in replacement.

#javascript #nodejs peeps - how do you manage your nodejs tools that install binaries?

% uv init --python 3.12.13
% uv add pyrolite -
