Notes Regarding `uv` Python Package Pre-installation.

Notes regarding how to download Python packages for offline availability, without using them in a current project.

Create a new project folder and navigate to it. My projects are in ~/dev.

uv init creates a new project in the current working directory.
uv add requests python_package_name installs the requested packages in ~/.cache/uv.

The packages will remain in the cache until running uv cache clean which removes unused packages. Otherwise, requesting them in a new project will use the locally availble packages by default.

I am not certain how versions will be dealt with, or how the packages interact with different versions of Python.

The project created to download the packages can be immediately deleted.
