Switch package management from pip to uv #3
Description
Currently, the cafex project uses pip for installing Python libraries. I propose switching to uv for package management. The primary reasons for this change are:
- Performance: uv installs dependencies significantly faster than pip, reducing setup times for local development.
- Deterministic Installs: uv provides more reliable and reproducible dependency resolution, minimizing 'works on my machine' problems.
- Modern Workflow: uv offers improved tooling and compatibility with lockfiles, enhancing the developer experience and simplifying dependency updates.
- Active Development: uv is actively maintained and is gaining popularity in the Python community for its speed and reliability.
Switching to uv will help streamline dependency management and improve overall developer productivity in the cafe project.
Action Steps:
- Update documentation and scripts to use uv instead of pip.
- Test installation and dependency resolution workflows with uv.
- Remove legacy pip-related files if no longer needed.
