ask your doctor if `uv` is right for you

[mjke]

current flow

git clone --recursive https://github.com/keiserlab/rad.git
cd rad
pip install . 

proposed flow

uv tool install "git+https://github.com/keiserlab/rad"
uv python

but wait, there's more: instant transient tool use via uvx --from "git+https://github.com/keiserlab/rad my-command

• where my-command is any entrypoint defined in your pyproject.toml
• does not require uv tool install - it's a different use case (if you need it)

why?

1. MUCH faster, better, happier; uv >> pip
2. uvx can run commands (it's a uv tool wrapper) straight from github/pypi/etc - handles env & local-cache
3. for coding, uv ALSO supports exact existing flow, just replace pip install . -> uv sync

how?
