Wondering why they are not using uv instead of pip in the container, give that uv is much faster than pip.


You can tell it to install uv. I just ran this:

  Run "pip install uv" then run
  "uv tool install sqlite-utils"
  then "sqlite-utils --version"
And it worked: https://claude.ai/share/df36f3a8-44f0-4c7d-bb64-e5ed57602d79

I imagine they still default to pip because there's more training data about it, and it works fine.
