Add an option to use `uv venv` and `uv pip` in the `python` and `poetry` plugins
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request by a maintainer to add python-package-manager/poetry-package-manager options so python and poetry plugins can use `uv venv` and `uv pip`. Unimplemented; a standalone uv plugin (#930) exists but does not fulfill this.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The feature is still unimplemented: grep for `python-package-manager` and `package_manager` across the repo returns no matches, and `BasePythonPlugin._get_pip()` in craft_parts/plugins/base.py:293 still hardcodes the venv's `bin/pip`. The standalone uv plugin added by PR #930 (commit 3ff84991) is not equivalent because it requires changing the `plugin:` key rather than using a per-part option. This issue is the designated follow-up where the closed experimental PR #825 was explicitly deferred and closed 'unusable with the current codebase'. The maintainer-authored body gives a concrete YAML spec, but no discussion, labels, or assignee exist after 658 days, so priority is unconfirmed.

The experimental PR cited in the issue body; closed unmerged as unusable, explicitly deferred to this issue.

craft-parts#706
(confidence 85%)
Original `uv` python plugin issue, closed when the standalone uv plugin landed via PR #930; the option-based approach was spun out here.

Superseded By:
craft-parts#930
(confidence 55%)
Added a dedicated `uv` plugin providing uv venv/pip/sync, but as a distinct plugin rather than an option on python/poetry, so it only partially covers the motivation.
