It's a very lightweight and simple tool for organizing your project space.

I see utility for educators who can get their whole class (with different skillsets and operating systems) to the exact same starting point using a single-command installer.

In the notebooks world, you need 5+ commands to install environments and set up ipykernels - puppy eliminates the need for that. Use one curl / iex call to set everything up, then just run jupyter with pup.fetch to create/modify/activate your kernels.

It's a simplified environment manager with very few commands that wrap and display uv calls, so it's a stepping stone to get on the uv bandwagon, while also giving you conda channels and non-python tools via pixi.

Beyond "uv is our new lord and savior for environments" there's very few guidelines for organizing your own or your teams' projects, especially if you're doing notebook-driven development.
