@manzt/uv

This repo mirrors uv GitHub releases to npm, letting you run Astral’s fast Python package manager via JavaScript package managers — no install needed.

Usage

Run uv via the npm CLI:

npx @manzt/uv --help
# An extremely fast Python package manager.
#
# Usage: uv [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Or with one of several other JavaScript package managers:

# pnpm
pnpx @manzt/uv --help # [pnpm docs](https://pnpm.io/cli/dlx)

# bun
bunx @manzt/uv --help # [bun docs](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/bunx)

See uv's documentation and repository for more information.

Example

npx @manzt/uv init --script foo.py
npx @manzt/uv add --script foo.py rich
echo 'from rich import print; print("[bold green]Hello uv![/bold green]")' >> foo.py
npx @manzt/uv run foo.py

Why?

JavaScript developers like to dunk on Python packaging. Python folks dunk on JavaScript. It's silly. Both ecosystems have evolved since you last looked.

IMO uv has fixed Python packaging, and this project is an attempt to make that more accessible to JavaScript folks. I also wanted to learn a bit about how the distribution of binaries works on npm.
