uv script management

I’ve been leaning on lazy-self-installing-python-scripts more and more, but I did not realize how much tooling that uv gives you to help manage your scripts.

uv init --script up
uv add --script up typer rich
uv remove --script up rich
sed -i '1i #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script' up
chmod +x up
./up

The result is a script that looks like this, its executable as what looks like regular command in your shell.

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.13"
# dependencies = [
#     "typer",
# ]
# ///


def main() -> None:
    print("Hello from up!")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
