Yes but I then still then have to declare all dependencies for all tiny throwaway script, right now I have global python in pyenv and installed tons of plugins and didn't have too much issues with conflicts so was good enough for me

I used to have the same setup - a global tools venv with some useful dependencies.

Uv takes the position that since it’s so fast to install dependencies and create environments, you don’t maintain a global venv.

  uvx ruff file.py

Will setup a venv, install ruff into it, and run over your file. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/

Otherwise you can:

  uv run —-with package file.py

If you don’t want to declare your dependencies.

How about just install a python version with uv and install everything into that?

Or better, do the above, then create a virtual env, set the virtual env in your.bashrc and install everything into that

Better still... use uv script --init See other comments on this post

You could make an alias for creating a new python script that adds your favorite libraries as dependencies:

  alias newpy='function _newpy() { 
      default_deps=("rich" "requests");
      uv init --script "$1" && uv add "${default_deps[@]}" --script "$1"; 
  }; _newpy'
