Aug 12 at 19:07 comment added TJP @Jakobian Every bounded uniformly continuous pseudometric on a subspace of a uniform space extends to a uniformly continuous pseudometric on the whole space. See e.g. section 2.2 in "Uniform spaces and measures" by Jan Pachl (2013).

Jul 17 at 13:36 comment added Jakobian I see, so we are using that a uniformity generated by countable family of pseudometrics is generated by just one pseudometric (e.g. as in the proof that countable products of metrizable spaces are metrizable). This is definitely a trick worth remembering. Thank you

Jul 17 at 9:43 comment added KP Hart The $d_n$s are taken from the family of compatible pseudometrics on $X$, and $d$ is constructed on $X$ from the $d_n$.

Reduction explained
Jul 16 at 18:17 comment added Jakobian Could you explain why can we restrict to a pseudometric space $(X, d)$? I'm not sure if there has to exists an admissible pseudometric $d$ on $X$ such that for all $\varepsilon > 0$ there is $\delta > 0$ with $d(x, y)\leq \delta \implies |f(x)-f(y)|\leq \varepsilon$ for $x, y\in S$. Such pseudometric on $S$ surely exists, since $\Psi_f(x, y) = |f(x)-f(y)|$ is an example of one, but I am under impression that pseudometrics on subspace in general don't extend to the whole space (I'm using my notation).
