pip-uv 0.1.6

Forces 'pip' commands to run via 'uv pip' transparently.

pip-uv 🚀

Tired of forgetting to type uv pip install?

You know uv is faster, better, and stronger, but muscle memory is hard to break. You keep typing pip install and waiting... and waiting.

pip-uv is here to save you.

This package replaces your environment's pip command with a lightning-fast shim that automatically redirects everything to uv pip.

Type pip, get uv. It's that simple.

Quick Start

Run this once in your virtual environment:

uv pip install pip-uv

(Or just pip install pip-uv if you haven't switched yet)

That's it! Now try it out:

pip install requests
# 🎉 Actually runs: uv pip install requests

How it works

When you install pip-uv, it places a small, optimized binary named pip into your virtual environment's bin folder. This binary shadows the standard python pip.

1. You type pip install ...
2. The shim intercepts the call.
3. It instantly replaces itself with uv pip install ...
4. You enjoy pure speed.

Features

• Zero Overhead: Written in Go, the shim uses syscall.Exec to replace the process. No python startup cost.
• Transparent: Passes all arguments and flags directly to uv.
• Pre-compiled: Installs instantly on Linux, macOS, and Windows (no Go compiler needed for standard platforms!).

Prerequisites

• uv must be installed and available in your system PATH.
  • If uv isn't found, the shim will complain and exit.
