I also started using uv -- it is fantastic in so many ways, and "uv tool" is certainly one of them.

For this particular use case, you can use `uvx`, which is a shorthand for `uv tool run`, which is a great alternative for installing random python tools in isolation.

Such as this one. Or for example, python-kasa (for controlling TP Kasa plugs) or esphome (the build script)

Prior to doing this, it was either manage virtualenvs (one for each tool), or rely on a mess of Arch packages.
