# Python with uv

Always use `uv` - faster and more reliable than pip/poetry.

## Commands

```bash
# Run scripts - ALWAYS use uv run
uv run python script.py
uv run pytest

# Dependencies
uv add numpy
uv sync
```

## Rules

1. Never `python script.py` - always `uv run python script.py`
2. Never `pip install` - always `uv add` or `uv sync`
