Quick plug here for a simple Jupyter kernel I created:

https://github.com/tobinjones/uvkernel

It’s a pretty minimal wrapper around “uv” and “iPython” to provide the functionality from the article, but for Jupyter notebooks. It’s similar to other projects, but I think my implementation is the least intrusive and a good “citizen” of the Jupyter ecosystem.

There’s also this work-in-progress:

https://github.com/tobinjones/pep723widget

Which provides a companion Jupyter plugin to manage the embedded script dependencies of noteboooks with a UI. Warning — this one is partially vibe-coded and very early days.

There is also marimo. For my use cases it has been a fantastic upgrade from Jupyter. I use it in the style of TFA (notebooks are just Python files). In the notebook UI, you can add packages to the script headers. It's so nice to have many notebooks in one directory with independent, but reproducible environments.

Marimo notebooks are easy to diff when committing to git. Plus you get AI coding assistants in the notebook, a reactive UI framework, the ability to run in the browser with Pyodide on WASM, and more. It will also translate your old Jupyter notebooks for you.

For me, what uv is to package managers, marimo is to notebooks.
