Why is there often no discussion or mention of Pixi along with uv in conversations about Python tooling? Is it because uv has a lot of VC money to get attention while Pixi doesn't?

[–] houseofleft 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think short answer is yes, but longer answer is also that Pixi is a drop in replacement for Conda, which is a lot less used than Pip (which uv is a replacement for).

Pixi is more than a drop in replacement for Conda. Pixi being able to replace Conda and do everything that uv does (Pixi has incorporated uv into it's tools) seems to make it a more complete toolset than uv alone.
