I love uv. The one gotcha I'll warn people about is: don't touch uvx. I've lost an embarrassing number of hours or days trying to figure out why nothing works properly or makes sense when I tried to run things with uvx. I guess I understand why it's there, but I think it's a built-in foot-gun and not well documented. But if you stay away from it, things work great.


I suppose you didn't accompany the command `uvx` with the necessary `--with=` arguments[1] for each dependency.

What issues are you having with uvx? It replaces tools like pipx that set up implicit venvs to run specific tools. Works great for me.


uvx is fine. I use it to run executable packages all the time. What is your problem with it?
