AI Engineering template (with uv)

---

A template repo for AI Engineering projects (using python) and uv. This template is like our original AI Engineering template, however, unlike how that template uses poetry, this one uses uv for dependency management (as well as packaging and publishing).

🧑🏿‍💻 Developing

Installing dependencies

The development environment can be set up using uv. Hence, make sure it is installed and then run:

uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

In order to install dependencies for testing (codestyle, unit tests, integration tests), run:

uv sync --dev
source .venv/bin/activate

In order to exclude installation of packages from a specific group (e.g. docs), run:

uv sync --no-group docs

If you're coming from poetry then you'll notice that the virtual environment is actually stored in the project root folder and is by default named as .venv. The other important note is that while poetry uses a "flat" layout of the project, uv opts for the the "src" layout. (For more info, see here)

Poetry to UV

The table below provides the uv equivalent counterparts for some of the more common poetry commands.

Poetry	UV
poetry new <project-name> # creates new project	uv init <project-name>
poetry install # installs existing project	uv sync
poetry install --with docs,test	uv sync --group docs --group test
poetry add numpy	uv add numpy
poetry add pytest pytest-asyncio --groups dev	uv add pytest pytest-asyncio --groups dev
poetry remove numpy	uv remove numpy
poetry lock	uv lock
poetry run <cmd> # runs cmd with the project venv	uv run <cmd>
poetry build	uv build
poetry publish	uv publish
poetry cache clear pypi --all	uv cache clean

For the full list of uv commands, you can visit the official docs.

Tidbit

If you're curious about what "uv" stands for, it appears to have been more or less chosen randomly.
