Using uv with megalinter

[IlanCosman]

I have a project that uses uv to manage its dependencies. How should I configure megalinter so that the linters get the appropriate dependencies for my project? (To verify things like imports)

I suppose when you tell about uv, it's https://github.com/astral-sh/uv

Indeed :)

I think @echoix is our expert for uv (@see integration with #4374)

But in summary, following command just do it : uv sync --frozen

From a collaborator newbie in this domain ;-)

There's nothing really special. Take the command you would run normally to install what you need on a new Linux computer, (if the command uv sync --frozen mentioned above if the correct one, or any other), and you would probably want to make it run as a PRE_COMMAND in your Megalinter config. That way, it will run this inside the container that is running Megalinter (ie: a new Linux computer for uv's point of view).

Your guess is as good as mine to go read uv's docs, I know they change really fast, and I didn't use uv for this use case recently, so I don't remember well what to do exactly.
