Lazy self-installing Python scripts with uv

I really like Trey's steps to making an executable python script with uv

his old process seems to be the same with a new shebang

Add an appropriate shebang line above the first line in the file (e.g. #!/usr/bin/env python3)

Aet an executable bit on the file (chmod a+x my_script.py)

Place the script in a directory that’s in my shell’s PATH variable (e.g. cp my_script.py ~/bin/my_script)

And here is the new format the the shebang followed by the metadata comment block defined in PEP 723.






        
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = [
#     "ffmpeg-normalize",
# ]
# ///
