We had to drop hatch for now, because it does not work well with uv's lockfiles. Someone opened an issue here: https://github.com/pypa/hatch/issues/1886. We use bare uv for now.

In Use pew, not virtualenvwrapper, for Python virtualenvsI'd say https://github.com/ofek/hatch is the more robust (and easier) choice for virtual env management.

In Use pew, not virtualenvwrapper, for Python virtualenvsThree of us (including me), in an academic lab, are making the jump from matlab to python. We use py3 (of Anaconda, on Windows10).
We like it, but we are constantly screaming and bitching about the complications of 2<->3 ("Ahhh X and Y module only works on py2!", "Ahhh device developer only provides example code for Labview and Matlab!", "Ahhh python isn't even supported for this device/application!").
Package management ("Do I use conda? pip? easy_install? compile?") is annoying, I hope that something like hatch (https://github.com/ofek/hatch) maybe takes over everything -- because I think the mess that is package management is THE biggest deterrent for newcomers.
I think the one thing we are all learning from this experience is: JUST USE UBUNTU, doing python with Windows is a headache.
All of that said -- python is nice, it's amazing, i

t's the newer, funner Java. It is incredibly approachable, it can do pretty much EVERYTHING because of the expansive availability of libraries, it's finally a programming language that is great to get my 7 year old niece started on.
Thanks for the kind words!
Hatch can replace Conda as a virtual env manager but doesn't really try to compete with it in regards to binary installs.
Hatch does try to detect when a Conda env is in use and will adjust the shell prompt accordingly. https://github.com/ofek/hatch/blob/59cfdd4a929240dd82b2e4e25...
