Will now “just run” after you satisfied the dependency of installing uv on your system and prepending these dependency lines to all your scripts, that is.

Imo this saves you no time over just constructing and calling environments the old way. I’m not sure either whether uv lets you load the env only in an interactive session or if its just for script running.



I'll first day I'm not a proponent of uv, I just read the post and tried to clarify what it says...

but I think what it saves you is the trouble of setting up a virtual environment the "old" way. So, it's about making things easier, not faster.


Ofcourse it does, after you have installed uv and prepending the dependencies you never have to do it again. Calling environments etc have to be done every time. You also have to keep these env around.


You could easily wrap something that activates an env as the relevant script is called. And you can just store the env in text and build as needed too.
