Why?

1. It's simple. Just type dpv or dpv <python version> and get the work done.
2. It's pure shell and POSIX-compliant tested with: ash bash dash ksh zsh
3. It's built to get out of the way!

How?

Think of dpv as an interface for whaterver of these tools you have installed: uv, pyenv, brew

It will automatically pick the one that is available and use it for the job.
