I understand Thomas point on this. But if you change it, from my distant point of view (I still use miniconda :-)), pixi seems to have more momentum than uv nowadays.

I use plain venv plus awareness of the python interpreter I am relying on. But indeed issues about interpreter mismatches repeatedly pop up.
Good to know about pixi. Maybe we should rephrase in a more general way and recommend a manager that allows for explicit interpreter selection, like uv and pixi.
