Summary
This is a prototype that I'm considering shipping under
--preview
, based onlight-the-torch
.light-the-torch
patches pip to pull PyTorch packages from the PyTorch indexes automatically. And, in particular,light-the-torch
will query the installed CUDA drivers to determine which indexes are compatible with your system.This PR implements equivalent behavior under
--torch-backend auto
, though you can also set--torch-backend cpu
, etc. for convenience. When enabled, the registry client will fetch from the appropriate PyTorch index when it sees a package from the PyTorch ecosystem (and ignore any other configured indexes, unless the package is explicitly pinned to a different index).Right now, this is only implemented in the
uv pip
CLI, since it doesn't quite fit into the lockfile APIs given that it relies on feature detection on the currently-running machine.
