| description | Use `uv` instead of pip/python/venv. Run scripts with `uv run script.py`, add deps with `uv add`, use inline script metadata for standalone scripts. |
Quick Reference
uv run script.py # Run a script
uv run --with requests script.py # Run with ad-hoc dependency
uv run python -m ast foo.py >/dev/null # Verify syntax without writing __pycache__
uv add requests # Add dependency to project
uv init --script foo.py # Create script with inline metadata
Inline Script Dependencies
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = ["requests"]
# ///
See scripts.md for full details on running scripts, locking, and reproducibility.
Build Backend
Use uv_build for pure Python packages:
[build-system]
requires = ["uv_build>=0.9.28,<0.10.0"]
build-backend = "uv_build"
See build.md for project structure, namespaces, and file inclusion.
