Whew this is a lot.
The user-facing changes are:
- `uv toolchain` to `uv python` e.g. `uv python find`, `uv python
install`, ...
- `UV_TOOLCHAIN_DIR` to` UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR`
- `<UV_STATE_DIR>/toolchains` to `<UV_STATE_DIR>/python` (with
[automatic
migration](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4735/files#r1663029330))
- User-facing messages no longer refer to toolchains, instead using
"Python", "Python versions" or "Python installations"
The internal changes are:
- `uv-toolchain` crate to `uv-python`
- `Toolchain` no longer referenced in type names
- Dropped unused `SystemPython` type (previously replaced)
- Clarified the type names for "managed Python installations"
- (more little things)
In #3514 and #2755, users had intermittent network errors, but it was
not always clear whether we had already retried these requests or not.
Building upon https://github.com/TrueLayer/reqwest-middleware/pull/159,
this PR adds the number of retries to the error message, so we can see
at first glance where we're missing retries and where we might need to
change retry settings.
Example error trace:
```
Could not connect, are you offline?
Caused by: Request failed after 3 retries
Caused by: error sending request for url (https://pypi.org/simple/uv/)
Caused by: client error (Connect)
Caused by: dns error: failed to lookup address information: Name or service not known
Caused by: failed to lookup address information: Name or service not known
```
This code is ugly since i'm missing a better pattern for attaching
context to reqwest middleware errors in
https://github.com/TrueLayer/reqwest-middleware/pull/159.
Adds a `toolchain-fetch` option alongside `toolchain-preference` with
`automatic` (default) and `manual` values allowing automatic toolchain
fetches to be disabled (replaces
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4425). When `manual`, toolchains
must be installed with `uv toolchain install`.
Note this was previously implemented with `if-necessary`, `always`,
`never` variants but the interaction between this and
`toolchain-preference` was too confusing. By reducing to a binary
option, things should be clearer. The `if-necessary` behavior moved to
`toolchain-preference=installed`. See
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4601#discussion_r1657839633 and
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4601#discussion_r1658658755
Allows installation of multiple toolchains in a single invocation
because I don't want to be limited to one! Most of the implementation
for concurrent downloads ported from `cargo dev fetch-python`.
Adds support for toolchain keys e.g. `cpython-3.11.2-macos` allowing you
to download toolchains for specific architectures and operating systems
using the format we use to uniquely identify a toolchain.
Includes system interpreters in `uv toolchain list`.
This includes a refactor of `find_toolchain` to support iterating over
all toolchains
that match a request rather than ending earlier.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/3857
Instead of using custom `Arch`, `Os`, and `Libc` types I just use
`target-lexicon`'s which enumerate way more variants and implement
display and parsing. We use a wrapper type to represent a couple special
cases to support the "x86" alias for "i686" and "macos" for "darwin".
Alternatively we could try to use our `platform-tags` types but those
capture more information (like operating system versions) that we don't
have for downloads.
As discussed in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4160, this is not
sufficient for proper libc detection but that work is larger and will be
handled separately.

Adds support for managed toolchain fetching to `uv venv`, e.g.

The preview flag is required. The fetch is performed if we can't find an
interpreter that satisfies the request. Once fetched, the toolchain will
be available for later invocations that include the `--preview` flag.
There will be follow-ups to improve toolchain management in general,
there is still outstanding work from the initial implementation.

There should be no behavior changes here. Restructures the discovery API
to be focused on a toolchain first perspective in preparation for
exposing a `find_or_fetch` method for toolchains in
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4138.
Moves all of `uv-toolchain` into `uv-interpreter`. We may split these
out in the future, but the refactoring I want to do for interpreter
discovery is easier if I don't have to deal with entanglement. Includes
some restructuring of `uv-interpreter`.
Part of #2386
Previously, this would use the "system" temporary directory.
Because we rename the resulting directory to its final destination,
and because renaming is implemented via hardlinking, and because
hardlinking doesn't work across mount points, and because /tmp is
commonly on a different mount point than where `uv` is checked out,
we "fix" this by putting the temporary directory somewhere close to
the final destination of the fetched artifact.
There are alternatives we might consider pursuing. For example,
if the `rename` fails, then we should probably do a recursive
directory copy. But this is a quick fix for now and it also
consistent with colocation of other temporary directories in `uv`.
The main downside of this change is that if a user does ^C while
`uv-dev fetch-python` is running, then there is no mechanism for
cleaning up temporary directories.

- #2931 (pending)
A first step towards Python toolchain management in Rust.
First, we add a new crate to manage Python download metadata:
- Adds a new `uv-toolchain` crate
- Adds Rust structs for Python version download metadata
- Duplicates the script which downloads Python version metadata
- Adds a script to generate Rust code from the JSON metadata
- Adds a utility to download and extract the Python version
I explored some alternatives like a build script using things like
`serde` and `uneval` to automatically construct the code from our
structs but deemed it to heavy. Unlike Rye, I don't generate the Rust
directly from the web requests and have an intermediate JSON layer to
speed up iteration on the Rust types.
Next, we add add a `uv-dev` command `fetch-python` to download Python
versions per the bootstrapping script.
- Downloads a requested version or reads from `.python-versions`
- Extracts to `UV_BOOTSTRAP_DIR`
- Links executables for path extension
This command is not really intended to be user facing, but it's a good
PoC for the `uv-toolchain` API. Hash checking (via the sha256) isn't
implemented yet, we can do that in a follow-up.
Finally, we remove the `scripts/bootstrap` directory, update CI to use
the new command, and update the CONTRIBUTING docs.
