uv v0.6.10 has just been released with a more convenient way of doing this:

    uv python find --script foo.py

How does it work ? How does it find the environment ?

Let say I have a project in `/home/boumtac/dev/myproject` with the venv inside.

If I run `uv python find --script /home/boumtac/dev/myproject/my_task.py`, will it find the venv ?

[JimDabell]

The philosophy of uv is that the venv is ephemeral; creating a new venv should be fast enough that you can do it on demand.

Do you have a standalone script or do you have a project? --script is for standalone scripts. You don’t use it with projects.

If you tell it to run a standalone script, it will construct the venv itself on the fly in $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

If you have a project, then it will look in the .venv/ subdirectory by default and you can change this with the $UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. If it doesn’t find an environment where it is expecting to, it will construct one.

Thanks! Came here to ask how to make pyright work with uv scripts...

pyright --pythonpath $(uv python find --script foo.py) foo.py
