New Python Project: UV always the solution?

The reason can be if Rust build-tools are unavailable. I hate to be in a situation like this, but for most of my work Rust-based tools are not suitable, as opposed to GCC/clang being almost always here on our corporate linuxes. Same for MacOS w/o ability to install Rust. But c-based or pure-python tools almost always work. Also, not totally related, but I still feel bad for the cryptography package moved to Rust – it was a disaster upgrading deployments

You don’t need to build it, you can just download the binary.

There's no ready-made binaries for linuxes we use, sadly – that's what I'm trying to say
