❯ pip show uv
Name: uv
Version: 0.1.2
Summary: An extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust.

❯ pip show -qq uv && echo uv installed || echo uv not installed
uv installed

As in the last example, the -qq form is particularly useful for querying just whether any version of a particular package is installed, which is all I actually need.

It's possible to run uv pip freeze | grep ... instead, but it seems like it might be easy enough and worth it to add uv pip show <pkg> (or at least uv pip show -qq <pkg>), which should also be faster.
