ohemorangeandGitHub 00a51ab22b Drop in uv for pip (#10428)
It's a [drop-in
replacement](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/compatibility/) that speeds
things up. I don't see any reason why not.

`--use-pep517` is [set by default](
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/compatibility/#pep-517-build-isolation),
so we don't need it.

`--disable-pip-version-check` also does nothing on uv.

`uv` [uses
separate](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/compatibility/#build-constraints)
`UV_BUILD_CONSTRAINT` and `UV_CONSTRAINT`. I just added it to both to do
the simplest thing here. We could split them.

We probably don't actually need to pipstrap pip anymore, I could take
that out.

What's happening with `parsedatetime` and `python-digitalocean` is that
they were always secretly wrong. Since `pip` compiles bytecode by
default, it was suppressing the errors. If you add the
`--compile-bytecode` flag to `uv`, it passes, but I don't think we
should do that. You can see the failure happen on main by passing
`--no-compile` to the pip args and running `certbot -r -e oldest`.

Now what I don't understand is that some places seem to say the `'\/'`
error from `parsedatetime` only started in python 3.12, whereas others
see it on earlier python. Perhaps pytest is vendorizing python or
something. Not too worried about that, needed to get updated anyway, and
it's an accurate oldest version based on our oldest OSes.
`python-digitalocean` is techincally newer than debian 11, but we've
made that decision before so it seems fine to me.

Certbot is part of EFFs effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Secure communication over the Web relies on HTTPS, which requires the use of a digital certificate that lets browsers verify the identity of web servers (e.g., is that really google.com?). Web servers obtain their certificates from trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs). Certbot is an easy-to-use client that fetches a certificate from Lets Encrypt—an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others—and deploys it to a web server.

Anyone who has gone through the trouble of setting up a secure website knows what a hassle getting and maintaining a certificate is. Certbot and Lets Encrypt can automate away the pain and let you turn on and manage HTTPS with simple commands. Using Certbot and Let's Encrypt is free.

.. _installation:

Getting Started
---------------
The best way to get started is to use our `interactive guide <https://certbot.eff.org>`_. It generates instructions based on your configuration settings. In most cases, youll need `root or administrator access <https://certbot.eff.org/faq/#does-certbot-require-root-administrator-privileges>`_ to your web server to run Certbot.

Certbot is meant to be run directly on your web server on the command line, not on your personal computer. If youre using a hosted service and dont have direct access to your web server, you might not be able to use Certbot. Check with your hosting provider for documentation about uploading certificates or using certificates issued by Lets Encrypt.

Current Features
=====================

* Supports multiple web servers:

  - Apache 2.4+
  - nginx/0.8.48+
  - webroot (adds files to webroot directories in order to prove control of
    domains and obtain certificates)
  - standalone (runs its own simple webserver to prove you control a domain)
  - other server software via `third party plugins <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#third-party-plugins>`_

* The private key is generated locally on your system.
* Can talk to the Let's Encrypt CA or optionally to other ACME
  compliant services.
* Can get domain-validated (DV) certificates.
* Can revoke certificates.
* Supports ECDSA (default) and RSA certificate private keys.
* Can optionally install a http -> https redirect, so your site effectively
  runs https only.
* Fully automated.
* Configuration changes are logged and can be reverted.
