Custom Renku session environment with uv

[Leo-VK]

Hi

Thank you very much for the interesting Renku tool!
I wanted to ask if there were any plans to add the uv package manager for environment definition in Renku?

Best regards

Hi @Leo-VK thanks for your question! This repository is specifically for the renku blog content - I will move it to the general renku repository so it gets the proper attention.

@Leo-VK I'm assuming you are referring here to the creation of environments from code, as referenced in this blog-post? If so, yes, there is a plan to add uv support to the python buildpacks that we are using. Unfortunately we don't have a specific timeline in mind yet for this, but there is an issue already for it in the paketo python buildpacks repo. Is this specifically a blocker for you?

Hi @rokroskar Thank you for your reply! Yes, I was referring to the mentioned renku blog-post. I've only begun to migrate my repositories to uv, so it's not really a blocker yet. I was just wondering if this was on your roadmap, thanks for the info!
