We do not currently support passing index names to `--index` for
installing packages. However, we do accept relative paths that can look
like index names. This PR adds the requirement that `--index` values
must be disambiguated with a prefix (`./` or `../` on Unix and Windows
or `.\\` or `..\\` on Windows). For now, if an ambiguous value is
provided, uv will warn that this will not be supported in the future.
Currently, if you provide an index name like `--index test` when there
is no `test` directory, uv will error with a `Directory not found...`
error. That's not very informative if you thought index names were
supported. The new warning makes the context clearer.

This PR introduces transparent Python version upgrades to uv, allowing
for a smoother experience when upgrading to new patch versions.
Previously, upgrading Python patch versions required manual updates to
each virtual environment. Now, virtual environments can transparently
upgrade to newer patch versions.
Due to significant changes in how uv installs and executes managed
Python executables, this functionality is initially available behind a
`--preview` flag. Once an installation has been made upgradeable through
`--preview`, subsequent operations (like `uv venv -p 3.10` or patch
upgrades) will work without requiring the flag again. This is
accomplished by checking for the existence of a minor version symlink
directory (or junction on Windows).
### Features
* New `uv python upgrade` command to upgrade installed Python versions
to the latest available patch release:
```
# Upgrade specific minor version
uv python upgrade 3.12 --preview
# Upgrade all installed minor versions
uv python upgrade --preview
```
* Transparent upgrades also occur when installing newer patch versions:
```
uv python install 3.10.8 --preview
# Automatically upgrades existing 3.10 environments
uv python install 3.10.18
```
* Support for transparently upgradeable Python `bin` installations via
`--preview` flag
```
uv python install 3.13 --preview
# Automatically upgrades the `bin` installation if there is a newer patch version available
uv python upgrade 3.13 --preview
```
* Virtual environments can still be tied to a patch version if desired
(ignoring patch upgrades):
```
uv venv -p 3.10.8
```
### Implementation
Transparent upgrades are implemented using:
* Minor version symlink directories (Unix) or junctions (Windows)
* On Windows, trampolines simulate paths with junctions
* Symlink directory naming follows Python build standalone format: e.g.,
`cpython-3.10-macos-aarch64-none`
* Upgrades are scoped to the minor version key (as represented in the
naming format: implementation-minor version+variant-os-arch-libc)
* If the context does not provide a patch version request and the
interpreter is from a managed CPython installation, the `Interpreter`
used by `uv python run` will use the full symlink directory executable
path when available, enabling transparently upgradeable environments
created with the `venv` module (`uv run python -m venv`)
New types:
* `PythonMinorVersionLink`: in a sense, the core type for this PR, this
is a representation of a minor version symlink directory (or junction on
Windows) that points to the highest installed managed CPython patch
version for a minor version key.
* `PythonInstallationMinorVersionKey`: provides a view into a
`PythonInstallationKey` that excludes the patch and prerelease. This is
used for grouping installations by minor version key (e.g., to find the
highest available patch installation for that minor version key) and for
minor version directory naming.
### Compatibility
* Supports virtual environments created with:
* `uv venv`
* `uv run python -m venv` (using managed Python that was installed or
upgraded with `--preview`)
* Virtual environments created within these environments
* Existing virtual environments from before these changes continue to
work but aren't transparently upgradeable without being recreated
* Supports both standard Python (`python3.10`) and freethreaded Python
(`python3.10t`)
* Support for transparently upgrades is currently only available for
managed CPython installations

This includes some initial work on adding Pyodide support (issue
#12729). It is enough to get
```
uv pip compile -p /path/to/pyodide --extra-index-url file:/path/to/simple-index
```
to work which should already be quite useful.
## Test Plan
* added a unit test for `pyodide_platform`
* integration tested manually with:
```
cargo run pip install \

## Summary
Implemented as suggested in #13761
eg.
```
$ uv tool install 'harlequin[postgres]'
$ uv tool list --show-extras
harlequin v2.1.2 [extras: postgres]
- harlequin
```
## Test Plan
Added a new test with the argument along with the others from the `uv
tool list` cli.
By default, uv uses only a lower bound in `uv add`, which avoids
dependency conflicts due to upper bounds. With this PR, this cna be
changed by setting a different bound kind. The bound kind can be
configured in `uv.toml`, as a user preference, in `pyproject.toml`, as a
project preference, or on the CLI, when adding a specific project.
We add two options that add an upper bound on the constraint, one for
SemVer (`>=1.2.3,<2.0.0`, dubbed "major", modeled after the SemVer
caret) and another one for dependencies that make breaking changes in
minor version (`>=1.2.3,<1.3.0`, dubbed "minor", modeled after the
SemVer tilde). Intuitively, the major option bumps the most significant
version component, while the minor option bumps the second most
significant version component. There is also an exact bounds option
(`==1.2.3`), though generally we recommend setting a wider bound and
using the lockfile for pinning.
Versions can have leading zeroes, such as `0.1` or `0.0.1`. For a single
leading 0, we shift the the meaning of major and minor similar to cargo.
For two or more leading zeroes, the difference between major and minor
becomes inapplicable, instead both bump the most significant component:
- major: `0.1` -> `>=0.1,<0.2`
- major: `0.0.1` -> `>=0.0.1,<0.0.2`
- major: `0.0.1.1` -> `>=0.0.1.1,<0.0.2.0`
- major: `0.0.0.1` -> `>=0.0.0.1,<0.0.0.2`
- minor: `0.1` -> `>=0.1,<0.1.1`
- minor: `0.0.1` -> `>=0.0.1,<0.0.2`
- minor: `0.0.1.1` -> `>=0.0.1.1,<0.0.2.0`
- minor: `0.0.0.1` -> `>=0.0.0.1,<0.0.0.2`
For a consistent appearance, we try to preserve the number of components
in the upper bound. For example, adding a version `2.17` with the major
option is stored as `>=2.17,<3.0`. If a version uses three components
and is greater than 0, both bounds will also use three components
(SemVer versions always have three components). Of the top 100 PyPI
packages, 8 use a non-three-component version (docutils, idna, pycparser
and soupsieve with two components, packaging, pytz and tzdata with two
component, CalVer and trove-classifiers with four component CalVer).
Example `pyproject.toml` files with the top 100 packages: [`--bounds
major`](https://gist.github.com/konstin/0aaffa9ea53c4834c22759e8865409f4)
and [`--bounds
minor`](https://gist.github.com/konstin/e77f5e990a7efe8a3c8a97c5c5b76964).
While many projects follow version scheme that roughly or directly
matches the major or minor options, these compatibility ranges are
usually not applicable for the also popular CalVer versioning.
For pre-release versions, there are two framings we could take: One is
that pre-releases generally make no guarantees about compatibility
between them and are used to introduce breaking changes, so we should
pin them exactly. In many cases however, pre-release specifiers are used
because a project needs a bugfix or a feature that hasn't made it into a
stable release, or because a project is compatible with the next version
before a final version for that release is published. In those cases,
compatibility with other packages that depend on the same library is
more important, so the desired bound is the same as it would be for the
stable release, except with the lower bound lowered to include
pre-release.
The names of the bounds and the name of the flag is up for bikeshedding.
Currently, the option is call `tool.uv.bounds`, but we could also move
it under `tool.uv.edit.bounds`, where it would be the first/only entry.

This adopts the logic from `uv remove` for locking and syncing, as the
scope of the changes made are ultimately similar. Unlike `uv remove`
there is no support for modifying PEP723 scripts, as these are not
versioned.
In doing this the `version` command gains a truckload of args for
configuring lock/sync behaviour. Presumably most of these are passed via
settings or env files, and not of particular concern.
The most interesting additions are:
* `--frozen`: makes `uv version` work ~exactly as it did before this PR
* `--locked`: errors if the lockfile is out of date
* `--no-sync`: updates the lockfile, but doesn't run the equivalent of
`uv sync`
* `--package name`: a convenience for referring to a package in the
workspace
Note that the existing `--dry-run` flag effectively implies `--frozen` for sets and bumps.
Fixes#13254Fixes#13548
This also omits bounds on constraints, and is useful for that. This
retains `--raw-sources` as an alias. I've had this on my mind for a
while, but https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/12946 reminded me of it
again.
## Summary
Add a `--show-extras` argument to the `uv tool list` cli, to show which
extra dependencies were installed with the tool.
i.e.
```bash
$ uv tool install fastapi --with requests --with typer==0.14
```
```bash
$ uv tool list --show-extras
fastapi v0.115.12 [extras: requests, typer==0.14]
- fastapi
```
## Test Plan
Added a new test function based on the others in the same file, with the
other arguments tested with the new argument as well.

https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/9828#issuecomment-2537542100

## Summary
Part of #12838. Allow users to configure `python-downloads-json-url` in
`uv.toml` and not just from env.
I followed similar PR #8695, so same as there it's also available in the
CLI (I think maybe it's better not to be configurable from the CLI, but
since the mirror parameters are, I think it's better to do the same)
## Test Plan
<!-- How was it tested? -->
This is a reimplementation of #7248 with a new CLI interface.
The old `uv version` is now `uv self version` (also it has gained a
`--short` flag for parity).
The new `uv version` is now an interface for getting/setting the project
version.
To give a modicum of support for migration, if `uv version` is run and
we fail to find/read a `pyproject.toml` we will fallback to `uv self
version`. `uv version --project .` prevents this fallback from being
allowed.
The new API of `uv version` is as follows:
* pass nothing to read the project version
* pass a version to set the project version
* `--bump major|minor|patch` to semver-bump the project version
* `--dry-run` to show the result but not apply it
* `--short` to have the final printout contain only the final version
* `--output-format json` to get the final printout as json
```
$ uv version
myfast 0.1.0
$ uv version --bump major --dry-run
myfast 0.1.0 => 1.0.0
$ uv version 1.2.3 --dry-run
myfast 0.1.0 => 1.2.3
$ uv version 1.2.3
myfast 0.1.0 => 1.2.3
$ uv version --short
1.2.3
$ uv version --output-format json
{
"package_name": "myfast",
"version": "1.2.3",
"commit_info": null
}
```

Just a small PR to add mentions to `pylock.toml` in the CLI manual where
appropriate.
I tried to say "PEP-751 compatible lock files" when appropriate to also
include the case `r"^pylock\.([^.]+)\.toml$"`. Feel free to change that
if you think it's cluttery.
I also tried to include the "single-use" wording when it made sense.
I also have almost never used the `uv pip` interface, so maybe there are
some other minor things to add here and there about the usage of
`pylock.toml` that I missed.

<!-- How was it tested? -->
Since this is just a typo fix in documentation and comment strings, no
particular testing was conducted.

The typo fixes in `crates/uv-cli/src/lib.rs` would affect
`docs/reference/cli.md`. I assumed you might want to just re-generate

## Summary
This PR adds `uv export` support for [PEP
751](https://peps.python.org/pep-0751). We don't yet expose a way to
consume the generated lockfile, but it's a first step.
The logic to go from `uv.lock` to "flat set of packages to include, with
markers telling us when to include them" is all shared with the
`requirements.txt` export (and extracted in
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/12956). So most of the code is just
converting from our internal types to the PEP 751 schema.
"Only show Python downloads, exclude installed distributions." might be
misunderstood as excluding installed distributions from `uv python list
--only-downloads`, implying that versions already installed won’t be
shown.

@jtfmumm mentioned a desire for this. I'm not sure how we should do
this. I kind of want to change this to something like...
```
$ uv python find
CPython 3.13 @ <path>
$ uv python find --only-path
<path>
$ uv python find --short
<path>
$ uv python find --only-version
3.13
```
The change in defaults would be breaking though.

Adding dependency trace/parent comments ("via ...") to the export
command output.
This is a similar behavior to the pip compile output.
#### Note to the eager reviewer:
First of all - thanks!
Secondly, this is still a very rough draft. These are the first lines of
code I've ever written in Rust. This is still mostly an educational/fun
exercise for myself. If opening a Draft PR is creating too much noise -
I apologize and I will close it until it is ready.

The idea here is that we introduce a new stdout_important method for
things that want to care about the difference between "quiet" and
"silent".
This PR is WIP because it has no actual uses of stdout_important, and we
should have at least one before landing this. Perhaps someone has a
suggestion for commands that would really benefit from this distinction?
Fixes#10431

This fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/12426 which helps use

## Test Plan
I didn't test it locally, @charliermarsh gave me guidance on what to
change so I looked around that file for another example of `value_name`
and repeated what I saw. I kept it formatted to 1 line based on it not
being a long line. The other example of `value_name` had everything on
separate lines because there were a bunch of parameters passed in.

Allows `uv python list <request>` to filter the installed list. I often
want this and it's not hard to add.

## Summary
Resolves#11794.
When `uv python find` is given a `--script` option, either the existing
environment for that script or the Python executable that would be used
to create it will be returned. If neither are found, the command exits
with exit code 1.
`--script` is incompatible with all other options to the same command.
## Test Plan
Unit tests.
## Summary
This is a prototype that I'm considering shipping under `--preview`,
based on [`light-the-torch`](https://github.com/pmeier/light-the-torch).
`light-the-torch` patches pip to pull PyTorch packages from the PyTorch
indexes automatically. And, in particular, `light-the-torch` will query
the installed CUDA drivers to determine which indexes are compatible
with your system.
This PR implements equivalent behavior under `--torch-backend auto`,
though you can also set `--torch-backend cpu`, etc. for convenience.
When enabled, the registry client will fetch from the appropriate
PyTorch index when it sees a package from the PyTorch ecosystem (and
ignore any other configured indexes, _unless_ the package is explicitly
pinned to a different index).
Right now, this is only implemented in the `uv pip` CLI, since it
doesn't quite fit into the lockfile APIs given that it relies on feature
detection on the currently-running machine.
## Test Plan
On macOS, you can test this with (e.g.):
```shell
UV_TORCH_BACKEND=auto UV_CUDA_DRIVER_VERSION=450.80.2 cargo run \
pip install torch --python-platform linux --python-version 3.12
```
On a GPU-enabled EC2 machine:
```shell
ubuntu@ip-172-31-47-149:~/uv$ UV_TORCH_BACKEND=auto cargo run pip install torch -v
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.31s
Running `target/debug/uv pip install torch -v`

warning: The `--torch-backend` setting is experimental and may change without warning. Pass `--preview` to disable this warning.

...
```
Currently, for users to specify at the command line whether to use
uv-managed or system Python interpreters, they use the
`--python-preference` parameter, which takes four possible values. This
is more complex than necessary since the normal case is to either say
"only managed" or "not managed". This PR hides the old
`--python-preference` parameter from help and documentation and adds two
new flags: `--managed-python` and `--no-managed-python` to capture the
"only managed" and "not managed" cases.
I have successfully tested this locally but currently cannot add
snapshot tests because of problems with distinguishing managed vs.
system interpreters in CI (and non-determinism when run on different
developers' machines). The `--python-preference` test in
`tool-install.rs` is currently ignored for this reason. See #5144 and
#7473.

This is a minimal redux of #10861 to be compatible with `uv pip`.
This implements the interface described in:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/13065#issuecomment-2544000876 for `uv
pip install` and `uv pip compile`. Namely `--group <[path:]name>`, where
`path` when not defined defaults to `pyproject.toml`.
In that interface they add `--group` to `pip install`, `pip download`,
and `pip wheel`. Notably we do not define `uv pip download` and `uv pip
wheel`, so for parity we only need to implement `uv pip install`.
However, we also support `uv pip compile` which is not part of pip
itself, and `--group` makes sense there too.
----
The behaviour of `--group` for `uv pip` commands makes sense for the
cases upstream pip supports, but has confusing meanings in cases that
only we support (because reading pyproject.tomls is New Tech to them but
heavily supported by us). **Specifically case (h) below is a concerning
footgun, and case (e) below may get complaints from people who aren't
well-versed in dependency-groups-as-they-pertain-to-wheels.**
## Only Group Flags
Group flags on their own work reasonably and uncontroversially, except
perhaps that they don't do very clever automatic project discovery.
a) `uv pip install --group path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup` pulls up
`path/to/project.toml` and installs all the packages listed by its
`mygroup` dependency-group (essentially treating it like another kind of
requirements.txt). In this regard it functions similarly to
`--only-group` in the rest of uv's interface.
b) `uv pip install --group mygroup` is just sugar for `uv pip install
--group pyproject.toml:mygroup` (**note that no project discovery
occurs**, upstream pip simply hardcodes the path "pyproject.toml" here
and we reproduce that.)
c) `uv pip install --group a/pyproject.toml:groupx --group
b/pyproject.toml:groupy`, and any other instance of multiple `--group`
flags, can be understood as completely independent requests for the
given groups at the given files.
## Groups With Named Packages
Groups being mixed with named packages also work in a fairly
unsurprising way, especially if you understand that things like
dependency-groups are not really supposed to exist on pypi, they're just
for local development.
d) `uv pip install mypackage --group path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup`
much like multiple instances of `--group` the two requests here are
essentially completely independent: pleases install `mypackage`, and
please also install `path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup`.
e) `uv pip install mypackage --group mygroup` is exactly the same, but
this is where it becomes possible for someone to be a little confused,
as you might think `mygroup` is supposed to refer to `mypackage` in some
way (it can't). But no, it's sourcing `pyproject.toml:mygroup` from the
current working directory.
## Groups With Requirements/Sourcetrees/Editables
Requirements and sourcetrees are where I expect users to get confused.
It behaves *exactly* the same as it does in the previous sections but
you would absolutely be forgiven for expecting a different behaviour.
*Especially* because `--group` with the rest of uv *does* do something
different.
f) `uv pip install -r a/pyproject.toml --group b/pyproject.toml:mygroup`
is again just two independent requests (install `a/pyproject.toml`'s
dependencies, and `b/pyproject.toml`'s `mygroup`).
g) `uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --group mygroup` is exactly like
the previous case but *incidentally* the two requests refer to the same
file. What the user wanted to happen is almost certainly happening, but
they are likely getting "lucky" here that they're requesting something
simple.
h) `uv pip install -r a/pyproject.toml --group mygroup` is again exactly
the same but the user is likely to get surprised and upset as this
invocation actually sources two different files (install
`a/pyproject.toml`'s dependencies, and `pyproject.toml`'s `mygroup`)! I
would expect most people to assume the `--group` flag here is covering
all applicable requirements/sourcetrees/editables, but no, it continues
to be a totally independent reference to a file with a hardcoded
relative path.
------
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/8590
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/8969
These changes add support for
```
uv python pin 3.12 --global
```
This adds the specified version to a `.python-version` file in the
user-level config directory. uv will now use the user-level version as a
fallback if no version is found in the project directory or its
ancestors.
Closes#4972
