Sharing single-file Python scripts with external dependencies is now easy thanks to uv and PEP 723, which enable embedding dependency metadata directly within scripts. This approach eliminates the need for complex setup tools like requirements.txt or package managers, making script distribution and execution seamless and simplifying deployment while maintaining flexibility and efficiency.
@ofek Hello and welcome to Mastodon!
#Python people: give @ofek a follow, he's the author of the #Hatch project manager and the #Hatchling build backend, plus cool tools like https://github.com/ofek/pypinfo, and wrote #PEP723 "Inline script metadata"!
If I remember correctly, I couldn't get a file dependency working like `pipx run` for local development purposes, but the newest version of `uv` seems to work as I would expect.
I need to check how https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging works with https://pypi.org/project/django-unicorn-playground/ now. When I tried it a month or so ago I ran into some snags, but maybe the issues have been smoothed over at this point.
