On: Fun with uv and PEP 723

[js2]

So far I've only run into one minor ergonomic issue when using `uv run --script` with embedded metadata which is that sometimes I want to test changes to the script via the Python REPL, but that's a bit harder to do since you have to run something like:

  $ uv run --python=3.13 --with-requirements <(uv export --script script.py) -- python
  >>> from script import X

I'd love if there were something more ergonomic like:

  $ uv run --with-script script.py python

Edit: this is better:

  $ "$(uv python find --script script.py)"
  >>> from script import X

That fires up the correct python and venv for the script. You probably have to run the script once to create it.

I think you're looking for something like this (the important part being embeddeding a REPL call toward the end after whateve rsetup): https://gist.github.com/lostmygithubaccount/77d12d03894953bc...

You can make `--interactive` or whatever you want a CLI flag from the script. I often make these small Typer CLIs with something like that (or in this case, in another dev script like this, I have `--sql` for entering a DuckDB SQL repl)

you are welcome

    cat ~/.local/bin/uve
    #!/bin/bash
    temp=$(mktemp)
    uv export --script $1 --no-hashes > $temp
    uv run --with-requirements $temp vim $1
    unlink $temp

If I may ask, why `unlink` instead of `rm`?

[nomel → mayli]

This is rather silly.
