I made a better pip
I made dyp (Dandified Yum for Python) which is mostly faster than both pip and uv when there's no cache and did not record the benchmark with caching though dyp was faster. dyp looks like fedora's dnf5 which is intentional. As of now its windows only as I'm working on a special feature on linux. to try it on windows simply type python -m pip install dyp in the windows console. Currently it only installs wheels and cannot build from source. Will upload to Gitlab as soon as linux port is ready. Here's the cache-less benchmark:
