according to uv's documentation, you need to create a virtual env first. but I get this message with python path set

uv venv --python=/ucrt64/bin/python.exe
  x Querying Python at C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/python.exe failed with exit status exit code: 1
  | --- stdout:

  | --- stderr:
  | Traceback (most recent call last):
  |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  | ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'python'
  | ---

even when I tried to create venv with python -m venv, I still get the same error. feel free to open an issue upstream

Dont know why the package is there if it is broken, but ok. Also upstream probably only cares about msvc

I didn't test the package as I'm not a python developer. how did you understand that it cares only about msvc?

Just due to the bin path in windows is scripts, not bin.
