## Source distribution
Most packages publish their source distributions as gzip tarball (`.tar.gz`) or zip (`.zip`)
archives. While less common, other formats are also supported when reading and extracting source
distributions:
[PEP 625](https://peps.python.org/pep-0625/) specifies that packages must distribute source
distributions as gzip tarball (`.tar.gz`) archives. Prior to this specification, other archive
formats, which need to be supported for backward compatibility, were also allowed. uv supports
reading and extracting archives in the following formats:
- bzip2 tarball (`.tar.bz2`)
- gzip tarball (`.tar.gz`)
