+558 days ago (yes I count them), I wrote a follow-up article called [Why Do I Disinstall Pipenv and Use Only Poetry?](/post/2024/why-do-i-disinstall-pipenv-and-use-only-poetry/) and now I remake mine dev space, for building python project.
+
+Some of the arguments are old, some are new but all come from my dev stack.
+
+## Build a .venv
+
+For every Python project I wrote, I code all the project with a Virtual Env or .venv.
+It is a local "installation" of Python for the folder and it keep all the dependency inside it.
+
+It is the best way to develop python project because you can have any number of Python project, with different version of Python and/or different version of the dipendency for each project.
+
+Because I use git I need a good way to lock and commit the dipendency of my project. Some time ago I was using Poetry but now I use UV for build, update and manage the Virtual Env
+

+
+## Creating a .env file
+
+Every python project I create, I always add a .env file, where I store all the environment variable for the project but I don't add them to the repo because It is not necessary add the local config for dev in a repo.
+
+You can also automatically use the .env file in Uv so every time you are inside the .venv, you also have all the variables.
+
+## Using UV
+
+So after some time I was using Poetry and Pipenv, I find [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), a tool write in Rust for locking dipendnecy, set up and manage the .venv and create package for the publication in one tool.
+
+You can easly start a procjet with a simple command
+
+{{<highlight bash>}}
+uv init
+{{</highlight >}}
+
+which create the pyproject.toml and the .venv with all the dipendency.
+
+With some other command you can easily add, remove and update the dipendency or import in a easy way your .env file.
+
+{{<highlight bash>}}
+uv run --env-file=.env
+{{</highlight >}}
+
+I move to UV because I can use a single tool for all my python necessity and it is faster and less bugged.
+
+## Editor Config
+
+We have the .venv, we have the .env, we have the dependency manager so I add the Editor Config file for the style of the code.
+The [Editor Config file](https://editorconfig.org/) is a file where you define the style for the type of file you write in your repo.
+
+I have mine made year after year but I start with the [example](https://editorconfig.org/#example-file) in the site because it is easy and with all the stuff you need.
+
+## Makefile it
+
+So, after adding stuff over stuff to the repo, I add a makefile where yu have all the aliases for a python project, [^1].
+
+[^1]: I wrote an article about makefile caller [The Team Makefile](https://fundor333.com/post/2021/the-team-makefile/)
+
+My basic makefile is something like this
+
+{{<highlight Makefile>}}
+SHELL := /bin/bash
+
+RUNNER := uv run --env-file=.env
+
+.PHONY: help
+help: ## Show this help
+	@egrep -h '\s##\s' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | sort | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-20s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'
+
+.PHONY: install
+install: ## Make venv and install requirements
+	@uv sync
+	@$(RUNNER) pre-commit install
+	@pre-commit autoupdate
+
+.PHONY: update
+update: ## Update requirements
+	@uv lock --upgrade
+	@$(RUNNER) pre-commit autoupdate
+
+precommit: ## Run pre-commit hooks
+	@git add . & uv run --env-file=.env pre-commit run --all-files
+{{</highlight >}}
+
+The help command come form a blog post[^2] and describe better at my other post[^3]
+
+[^2]: [How to create a self-documenting Makefile](https://victoria.dev/archive/how-to-create-a-self-documenting-makefile/)
+[^3]: [The Team Makefile](https://fundor333.com/post/2021/the-team-makefile/)
+
+I write a makefile for all my project because I forgot a lot of the command and parameters, so a makefile is a good way to have an "deploy" command or a "test" command for the project and forgot all the task needed for run a "test" or a "deploy".
+
+I also put all the test command into the makefile because sometime the test command is too long to remember...
+
+## Pre commit and some automation
+
+This is my personal safety net for the commits. Some time I wrote and push without any work or thing about what I am doing... For this reason I add pre-commit[^pre-commit] for autofix and check all this minor error.
+
+[^pre-commit]: [Using pre-commit hooks to write better code](https://praful932.dev/blog-2-pre-commit-hooks/)
+
+![cox.gif](cox.gif)
+
+The took launch a lot of test BEFORE I can save the commit so I can find the error or getting a big fat NOPE for the commit, which I need to review for the problem.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This is the stack I work with and I love it. It can be something custom and old style for some of the older tecnology but I find it complete for what I do.
