IMHO there is no controversy. If you write applications in Python, you must have a modern package manager whether it’s uv or hatch or anything else.

I think that uv is the best so far but it doesn’t matter.

I understand. But what I'm hoping for feedback about is: would I lose a lot of potential users of my utility if I write it in Python and require them to have uv, pipx, etc.? Because I could write it in Rust and just provide it as an executable. But Python would be easier for me as the developer.
