@freakboy3742 @glyph @jacob @sgillies An example of what this might look like (we may not do this, but it's helpful to have a concrete example of the strategy) would be something like an enterprise-focused private package registry. A lot of big companies use uv. We spend time talking to them. They all spend money on private package registries, and have issues with them. We could build a private registry that integrates well with uv, and sell it to those companies.

@charliermarsh @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies I have heard you say as much on podcasts, and this *could* be quite a sustainable path forward, but the specifics of what and how are actually pretty important. you want to go up against Artifactory and friends, but it’s quite possible that in the course of doing so, you discover that users don’t care about Python so much as Docker, and that makes you heavily prioritize a linux-container workflow, which cuts off native app development at the knees
