Psst: even if you aren't using uv, you can use a global pip with `--python` and create your venvs `--without-pip` to save time (unless you have many invocations per venv, since `--python` works through a not-very-sane hack and is a bit slower as a result). And you can use Pipx to provision that global pip, and then you also have Pipx available. https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2025/01/07/python-packaging-...
