New features (pipx 1.12.0):
- Add --fetch-python / PIPX_FETCH_PYTHON env var (always|missing|never)
to control standalone Python interpreter downloads
- Add opt-in "uv" backend: pipx can now use "uv venv" and "uv pip" for
managing virtual environments
* When "uv" is on PATH, defaults to using uv for NEW venvs
* Existing venvs keep their recorded backend (pip or uv)
* Set PIPX_DEFAULT_BACKEND=pip to force pip even with uv available
* pipx install pip always uses the pip backend (uv venvs have no pip)
Deprecations:
- --fetch-missing-python and PIPX_FETCH_MISSING_PYTHON deprecated;
use --fetch-python=missing or PIPX_FETCH_PYTHON=missing instead

From the README:
pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written
in Python. It's roughly similar to macOS's brew, JavaScript's npx, and
Linux's apt.
It's closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on
installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the command
line directly as applications.
