python-uv-scripts

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies Python script development by enabling self-contained, reproducible scripts with inline dependency management using uv and PEP 723. It eliminates the need for separate requirements.txt files, making scripts easier to share, execute, and maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Inline Dependency Management: Define Python dependencies directly within your script using PEP 723 metadata, ensuring consistent execution environments.
• Self-Executable Scripts: Create scripts that automatically install their dependencies upon first run, streamlining distribution and setup.
• Best Practices & Patterns: Learn production-ready patterns for security, error handling, CLI applications, and API clients, ensuring robust and maintainable utilities.
• Use Case: Develop a small utility to check server health. Instead of managing a virtual environment and requirements.txt, embed httpx and rich directly in the script. Share the single file, and anyone can run it without manual setup.

Quick Start

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script

/// script

requires-python = ">=3.11"

dependencies = [

"httpx>=0.27.0",

"rich>=13.0.0",

]

///

import httpx from rich import print

response = httpx.get("https://api.github.com") print(f"[green]Status: {response.status_code}[/green]")
