Usage of UV with DRF

uv_drf.md

• Ensure UV has the python

uv python install 3.12

• Create the project using the real django-admin from the django package

uvx -p 3.12 --from django django-admin startproject #{project_name}

• Go into the project and add the packages

uv init to create pyproject.toml

• install

uv add djangorestframework django-environ django-cors-headers

• check that you are in correct virtual environment:

uv run python --version

• add in all the stuff for settings.py, and .env and nonsense... but now you need to create the /API or actual working folder. So you do this:

uv run python manage.py startapp api or uvx django-admin startapp api

and always run django stuff with uv:

uv run python manage.py migrate
