You wrote "...convert to being dependent on it without alternatives." but I didn't have the impression that anybody is proposing that Sage be *dependent* on Conda or uv. Instead, the proposal is that people install Python somehow; conda and uv are merely examples to show that in 2025 there are extremely good ways to install Python. NOTE: uv is just providing binaries from another project that has been around for a longer time, and the uv developers are also now contributing to that project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
