I'm sorry, but I was writing some new content here and the inconsistent
wrapping was very hard to maintain and I didn't want to muddy the diff
there with reflowing.
I don't think we need to be strict about the reflow (I'm not sure we
even can be) but some of these were very far off from our typical wrap
length.
We'll probably end up shipping but we were moving ahead with this on the
basis that pip may not even ship this, so let's play it safe and wait
for a bit.
Ultimately this is a lot of settings plumbing and a couple minor pieces
of Actual Logic (which are so simple I have to assume there's something
missing, but maybe not!).
Note this "needlessly" use DevDependencyGroup since it costs nothing, is
more futureproof, and lets us maintain one primary interface (we just
pass `false` for all the dev arguments).

## Summary
I use `uv` for automation on remote hosts and it would be useful to have
it be able to tell me the supported versions of python (for the remote
machine) in a machine readable manner so I do not need to parse `uv
python list`.
This change adds `--format (json|text)` to `uv python list` to make it's
output machine readable
Loosely related:

## Test Plan
Manually tested via
```
# quick inspection without pretty print
cargo run -- python list --format json
```
### Short example of output (trimmed down)

## Summary
`uv run --exact` will remove any unnecessary packages prior to running
the given command. (By default, `uv run` uses "inexact" semantics.)
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/7838.
Build failures are one of the most common user facing failures that
aren't "obivous" errors (such as typos) or resolver errors. Currently,
they show more technical details than being focussed on this being an
error in a subprocess that is either on the side of the package or -
more likely - in the build environment, e.g. the user needs to install a
dev package or their python version is incompatible.
The new error message clearly delineates the part that's important (this
is a build backend problem) from the internals (we called this hook) and
is consistent about which part of the dist building stage failed. We
have to calibrate the exact wording of the error message some more. Most
of the implementation is working around the orphan rule, (this)error
rules and trait rules, so it came out more of a refactoring than
intended.
Example:

Background reading: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/8157
Companion PR: https://github.com/astral-sh/pubgrub/pull/36
Requires for test coverage: https://github.com/astral-sh/packse/pull/230
When two packages A and B conflict, we have the option to choose a lower
version of A, or a lower version of B. Currently, we determine this by
the order we saw a package (assuming equal specificity of the
requirement): If we saw A before B, we pin A until all versions of B are
exhausted. This can lead to undesirable outcomes, from cases where it's
just slow (sentry) to others cases without lower bounds where be
backtrack to a very old version of B. This old version may fail to build
(terminating the resolution), or it's a version so old that it doesn't
depend on A (or the shared conflicting package) anymore - but also is
too old for the user's application (fastapi). #8157 collects such cases,
and the `wrong-backtracking` packse scenario contains a minimized
example.
We try to solve this by tracking which packages are "A"s, culprits, and
"B"s, affected, and manually interfering with project selection and
backtracking. Whenever a version we just chose is rejected, we give the
current package a counter for being affected, and the package it
conflicted with a counter for being a culprit. If a package accumulates
more counts than a threshold, we reprioritize: Undecided after the
culprits, after the affected, after packages that only have a single
version (URLs, `==<version>`). We then ask pubgrub to backtrack just
before the culprit. Due to the changed priorities, we now select package
B, the affected, instead of package A, the culprit.
To do this efficiently, we ask pubgrub for the incompatibility that
caused backtracking, or just the last version to be discarded (due to
its dependencies). For backtracking, we use the last incompatibility
from unit propagation as a heuristic. When a version is discarded
because one of its dependencies conflicts with the partial solution, the
incompatibility tells us the package in the partial solution that
conflicted.
We only backtrack once per package, on the first time it passes the
threshold. This prevents backtracking loops in which we make the same
decisions over and over again. But we also changed the priority, so that
we shouldn't take the same path even after the one time we backtrack (it
would defeat the purpose of this change).
There are some parameters that can be tweaked: Currently, the threshold
is set to 5, which feels not too eager with so me of the conflicts that
we want to tolerate but also changes strategies quickly. The relative
order of the new priorities can also be changed, as for each (A, B) pair
the priority of B is afterwards lower than that for A. Currently,
culprits capture conflict for the whole package, but we could limit that
to a specific version. We could discard conflict counters after
backtracking instead of keeping them eternally as we do now. Note that
we're always taking about pairs (A, B), but in practice we track
individual packages, not pairs.
A case that we wouldn't capture is when B is only introduced to the
dependency graph after A, but I think that would require cyclical
dependency for A and B to conflict? There may also be cases where
looking at the last incompatibility is insufficient.
Another example that we can't repair with prioritization is
urllib3/boto3/botocore: We actually have to check all the newer versions
of boto3 and botocore to identify the version that allows with the older
urllib3, no shortcuts allowed.
```
urllib3<1.25.4
boto3
```
All examples I tested were cases with two packages where we only had to
switch the order, so I've abstracted them into a single packse case.
This PR changes the resolution for certain paths, and there is the risk
for regressions.

## Summary
This PR makes the behavior in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/9827
the default: we try to select the latest supported package version for
each supported Python version, but we still optimize for choosing fewer
versions when stratifying by platform.
However, you can opt out with `--fork-strategy fewest`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/7190.
When publishing, we currently ask the user to set `--publish-url` to the
upload URL and `--check-url` to the simple index URL, or the equivalent
configuration keys. But that's redundant with the `[[tool.uv.index]]`
declaration. Instead, we extend `[[tool.uv.index]]` with a `publish-url`
entry and allow passing `uv publish --index <name>`.
`uv publish --index <name>` requires the `pyproject.toml` to be present
when publishing, unlike using `--publish-url ... --check-url ...` which
can be used e.g. in CI without a checkout step. `--index` also always
uses the check URL feature to aid upload consistency.
The documentation tries to explain both approaches together, which
overlap for the check URL feature.

Addresses #6805
## Summary
This PR adds a `--gui-script` flag to `uv run` that allows running
Python scripts with `pythonw.exe` on Windows, regardless of file
extension. This solves the issue where users need to maintain duplicate
`.py` and `.pyw` files to run the same script with and without a console
window.
The implementation follows the pattern established by the existing
`--script` flag, but uses `pythonw.exe` instead of `python.exe` on
Windows. On non-Windows platforms, the flag is present but returns an
error indicating it's Windows-only functionality.
Changes:
- Added `--gui-script` flag (Windows-only)
- Added Windows test to verify GUI script behavior
- Added non-Windows test to verify proper error message
- Updated CLI documentation
## Test Plan
The changes are tested through:
1. New Windows-specific test that verifies:
- Script runs successfully with `pythonw.exe` when using `--gui-script`
- Console output is suppressed in GUI mode but visible in regular mode
- Same script can be run both ways without modification
2. New non-Windows test that verifies:
- Appropriate error message when `--gui-script` is used on non-Windows
platforms
3. Documentation updates to clearly indicate Windows-only functionality

## Summary
This PR adds `--install-dir` argument for the following commands:
- `uv python install`
- `uv python uninstall`
The `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR` env variable can be used to set it
(previously it was also used internally).
Any more commands we would want to add this to?
## Test Plan
For now just manual test (works on my machine hehe)
```
❯ ./target/debug/uv python install --install-dir /tmp/pythons 3.8.12
Searching for Python versions matching: Python 3.8.12
Installed Python 3.8.12 in 4.31s
