Description
Evaluate the potential benefits of using uv
as an alternative to pip in pyqasm.
Background
uv is an emerging Python package installer and resolver written in Rust that promises several improvements over traditional pip
Investigation Goals
-
Evaluate Real-world Performance:
- Compare installation times for
pyqasm
dependencies using pip vs uv - Measure CI/CD pipeline execution time differences
- Compare installation times for
-
Compatibility Assessment:
- Verify uv works with our current dependency specifications
- Test with the full range of optional dependencies
- Ensure
Cython
extensions build correctly
-
Developer Experience Impact:
- Analyze workflow changes required for developers
- Assess learning curve and documentation needs
-
CI/CD Integration:
- Test uv in GitHub Actions without breaking existing workflows
- Compare reliability across different runners and platforms
Potential Integration Approaches
If investigation results are favorable, we could consider:
- Optional Recommendation: Document uv as an alternative for developers who want faster installs
- Dual Support: Support both tools officially in documentation and CI
- Complete Migration: Replace pip with uv throughout the project
