uv has been fantastic to use for little side projects. Combining uv run with `uv tool run` AKA `uvx` means one can fetch, install within a VM, and execute Python scripts from Github super easily. No git clone, no venv creation + entry + pip install.
And uv is fast — I mean REALLY fast. Fast to the point of suspecting something went wrong and silently errored, when it fact it did just what I wanted but 10x faster than pip.
It (and especially its docs) are a little rough around the edges, but it's bold enough and good enough I'm willing to use it nonetheless.

Thought I was the only one thinking this. Got to open an issue, I think it would be nice to have some more examples showcasing different use cases.
If I’ve ever had to run a “script” in any type of deployed ENV it’s always been done in that ENVs python shell .
So I still don’t see what the fuss is about?
I work on a massive python code base and the only benefit I’ve seen from moving to UV is it has sped up dep installation which has had positive impact on local and CI setup times.
