As long as you have internet access, and whatever repository it's drawing from is online, and you may get different version of python each time, ...

And electricity and running water and oh the inconvenience. How is this worse than getting a script file that expects you to install modules?

[maccard]

If I download python project from someone on the same network as me and they have it written in a different python version to me and a requirements.txt I need all those things anyway.

You can constrain Python version: https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/#:~:text=requires-python

[dragonwriter]

I mean, if you use == constraints instead of >= you can avoid getting different versions, and if you’ve used it (or other things which combined have a superset of the requirements) you might have everything locally in your uv cache, too.

But, yes, python scripts with in-script dependencies plus uv to run them doesn't change dependency distribution, just streamlines use compared to manual setup of a venv per script.

You can specify python version requirements in the comment, as the standard describes
