This would introduce more problems than it solves 99% of the time. The 1% of the time, it could be very handy.

I haven’t used UV, but it says that it manages python as well as packages - I’m guessing like conda, python-venv, and of course nix does.

If the C api is an issue, it sounds like you have control over it if you need it. You manage the python distribution, so could it be patched?

This way it feels like you’d be able to establish not just what is being imported, but what is importing it - then redirect through a package router and grab the one you want.

This may be particularly useful if you’re loading in shared libraries, because that is already a dumpster fire in python, and I imagine loading in different versions of the same thing would be quite awkward as-is.
