Isn't it a replacement for pip? I've seen people on Twitter saying that they migrated very quickly. TFA:

> TL;DR: uv is an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust, and designed as a drop-in replacement for pip and pip-tools workflows.

I tested it on my repo, multiple errors, it's not a drop-in replacement.

  (.venv) lijok@mbp icebreaker % python -m uv pip install --upgrade uv setuptools wheel

  error: unexpected argument '--upgrade' found

  tip: to pass '--upgrade' as a value, use '-- --upgrade'

  Usage: uv pip install [OPTIONS] <PACKAGE|--requirement <REQUIREMENT>|--editable <EDITABLE>>

  For more information, try '--help'.

  (.venv) lijok@mbp icebreaker % python -m uv pip install -- --upgrade uv setuptools wheel

  error: Failed to parse `--upgrade`
  Caused by: Expected package name starting with an alphanumeric character, found '-'
  --upgrade
  ^

I'm sure it can be made to work - but it's definitely not drop in

What happens if you don't prefix with `python -m`? There's no mention of doing that in the blog post and it certainly feels wrong to call a rust package with python -m

That's specifying which python to use. The issue which is printed is there's no support for `--upgrade`, so it's not a drop in replacement for pip.

And there no support for pip list -o
