Hi, out of curiosity is there a way to persistently set the `--native-tls` flag? UV always fails without it because of Zscalar configurations at my day job.

Also, is there any plan to add support for specifying that a compatible python version for a specific architecture? One of the packages I maintain at work has to use 32 bit python, and I always have to pass the `--python /path/to/32bit`

Yes you can set it via an environment variable (UV_NATIVE_TLS=true) or in your uv.toml (native-tls = true). However, check the docs, I think they are renaming it to sytem-certs.

Looks like I forgot to answer the other half :) Yes you can pin a specific Python like `uv python pin cpython-3.14.0-macos-aarch64-none`, it will create a `.python-version` file which will be respected when you’re in the directory.
