I recommend to start using UV.

It is very fast and tracks the libraries you are using.

After years of venv/pip, I'm not going back (unless a client requires it).

Another nice thing about uv is it can install python itself in the venv.

So no need to mess around with brew/deadsnakes and multiple global python versions on your dev system.

This is actually an improvement over the node/nvm approach.
