Summary & Key Takeaways ​

• uv.lock files can cause Python dependency errors, especially with new Python versions.
• These files pin dependency versions, which can conflict with newer Python wheels.
• Libraries should generally not include uv.lock files.
• Deleting uv.lock and re-running uv commands often resolves build issues.

Our Commentary ​

This is a classic "TIL" moment. I've definitely hit similar dependency walls in other ecosystems. It's a good reminder that sometimes the simplest solution is to just nuke the lock file and let the system rebuild. There's something satisfying about that.
