Description
https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/python-copier-template/issues/245 is an easy win, we would like to make further use of `uv`. Python projects have always required a slightly awkward bringing together of many tools from many vendors, one well-written tool that can manage the venv, tasks and dependencies would be very useful.
For tasks (i.e. a replacement for `tox`) there is an outstanding issue upstream: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/5903
@coretl to comment on the issues/unknowns that need to be investigated.
## Acceptance Criteria
- A reasonable set of instructions for moving to `uv` is produced
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading linked issue 245 and the upstream uv issue 5903, then inspect the template's current environment, task, and dependency-management approach. Done means producing a reasonable, documented set of instructions for moving the project to uv and recording the relevant issues or unknowns.
