    This seems to be from astral, the organization behind ruff[1], uv[2], and rye[3] (all good things!).

    They seem to force using python -m pip on Windows since they don't ship pip.exe[4]? This is very interesting.

    From their doc[5] since the README.md's super-bare:

    > These Python distributions contain a fully-usable, full-featured Python installation: most extension modules from the Python standard library are present and their library dependencies are either distributed with the distribution or are statically linked.

    > The Python distributions are built in a manner to minimize run-time dependencies. This includes limiting the CPU instructions that can be used and limiting the set of shared libraries required at run-time. The goal is for the produced distribution to work on any system for the targeted architecture.
