uvpip
pip, but 10-100x faster - same commands, powered by uv
uvpip is a transparent wrapper that intercepts pip and pip3 commands and routes them through uv — Astral's Rust-based package installer — without changing anything about how you work. Keep using pip install, pip freeze, pip uninstall exactly as before, just 10-100x faster. Works inside virtual environments too, using a shell function so it stays active even after venv activation. Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux. Your original pip is never modified.
Dropped it into a venv yesterday and my installs went from slow coffee break to barely a blink, all without touching my muscle memory. Genuinely handy little wrapper.
Drop-in shell function that actually keeps working after I activate a venv, which was the part I expected to break. Install times feel noticeably snappier on a cold cache without me having to retrain muscle memory.

does this actually replace the pip binary on PATH or just shadow it, and what happens if a script calls pip directly via a full path?
