lol! TBH it’s been a revelation. I’ve found machines that are cabled in can do 90Mbps but WiFi to WiFi is on 20Mbps for some routes. I thought the slowness was SSH overhead, but actually the pipe is just "thin".
Am well jelly of your gigajiga bits though! 😍

Have been using iperf3 to measure max data transfer between homelab machines and have come to the expected decision that...
Wifi is poop 💩
I'm about to embark on wiring everything into a managed switch and for this I completely blame @npub19c6…ttya 😉 who "made me" do this in Episode 52: https://linuxmatters.sh/52/

Oh nice spot - that’s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking would benefit from being wrapped in a PyPI package that can call uv and parse its output.
If, instead, many Python devs of "uv aware" projects are doing `subprocess.run()` and then parse the result, that doesn’t seem very stable or efficient.
This kind of thing in that file you linked: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/create-python-server/blob/b07744de4f10e92cfd1a98b51f7aac8ee5805d69/src/create_mcp_server/__init__.py#L31

The issue of creating an interface for Python code to call uv is one of the most interesting features of this new tooling that I've run into so far: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/3190

We're still on GNU Make, but what I'm loving about the uv workflow is that "less technical" users of our docs repository can:
* Have uv installed (homebrew, etc)
* Clone the docs repo.
* Make edits, changes, new branches etc.
* Run `make lint` to get green before pushing for PR.
No more venv battles for them, no "where did you get Python from?", is the "venv" active?
Under the hood the 'lint' recipe is using `uv run ...` and it all _should_ Just Work ™️ 🙏

Am experimenting with uv on work projects - they are private Python projects inside Git repositories which multiple developers work on locally and BuildKite runs CI for.
Current confusion - there seem to be multiple places to set the version of Python to be used in the project:
- ".python-version" file
- "pyproject.toml" file in the `requires-python` key.
- In the `UV_PYTHON` environment variable.
Has anyone developed any convention or priority for these (or others) yet? 🤔

So far I’ve been able to pin `numpy<2`, compile requirements and be OK. 🙏🏻
