 ## Development
 
-Use Arch's system Python through `uv` so the environment can access system PyGObject bindings:
+Parley has no third-party Python package dependencies. It runs directly with Arch's system Python and system PyGObject bindings:
 
 ```bash
-uv venv --python /usr/bin/python --system-site-packages
-uv pip install -e .
 ./scripts/install-dev
 ```
 
 Run tests and inspect the daemon:
 
 ```bash
-uv run python -m unittest discover -s tests
+PYTHONPATH=src /usr/bin/python -m unittest discover -s tests
 systemctl --user restart parley.service
 journalctl --user -u parley.service -f
 ```
