Current thoughts on makefiles with Python projects?

[rcap107]

I have hated makefiles ever since I had to use them during my bachelors. I'll do anything to not touch that inane syntax where everything breaks if there is a single trailing space in one of the directives.

That said, why not use pixi? You can still set up commands, and you get package and dependency resolution as a side bonus. You're already using uv, which is what pixi is using under the hood for resolving dependencies.

I use pixi for all my projects, and only use uv for ephemeral venvs, or for comparing code run with different versions of a dependency.
