There is a new standard mechanism for specifying the same things you would specify when setting up a venv with a python version and dependencies in the header of a single file script, so that tooling can setup up the environment and run the script using only the script file itself as a spec.

uv (and PyPA’s own pipx) support this standard.

"uv run myscript" is neither longer nor worse than separately manually building a venv, activating it, installing dependencies into it, and then running the script.
