**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** Right now this project uses a strange mix of pip, pip-compile, and conda. This means dependencies have to be declared in several places, and pip-compile gives hard-coded environment files per Python version, which makes it hard to understand where those lockfiles came from and how to update them. I'd like to suggest that this project considers [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for Python package management. I'd argue it's the modern standard for package management. It's fast and widely used. The only reason I can think of to use conda instead for developing would be if we needed GPU support in development. But aside from having a `cuda`-enabled environment.yml file, there's no mention of CUDA in the repo. This linked example seems to be missing from the repo: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/blob/79c22d6d6c0809e7e93a0a23249baa516dbd8d6f/examples/README.md?plain=1#L54 If we did need to stay in the Conda ecosystem, I'd highly recommend [pixi](https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi), which manages native dependencies but provides a full platform-independent lockfile across multiple Python versions. **Describe the solution you'd like** Use uv. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Status quo. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
