This package is placeholder that blocks `[uv] pip install uvx` and redirects the user to uv proper instead. It does so through a source distribution that fails to build into a wheel.
```
$ uv pip install dist/uvx-3.0.0.tar.gz
Using Python 3.13.2 environment at: /home/konsti/projects/uv/.venv

├─▶ The build backend returned an error
╰─▶ Call to `build_backend.build_wheel` failed (exit status: 1)

This package is a placeholder to prevent dependency confusion with `uvx`. Please refer to https://github.com/astral-sh/uv for installing
uv and uvx.
hint: This usually indicates a problem with the package or the build environment.
