@simon Then, for scripts you run frequently, do you just add to your.bashrc `alias demo=“uv run python -m demo_app”`?

My few python CLI apps each have a .venv directly, but it’s tiresome to have to juggle activations: `source ~/bin/demo/.env/activate && demo && deactivate’. 🫠

@com once I'm done developing the tool I'll install it permanently, probably using the version I ship to PyPI (so I guess I'll use "uv tool install name-of-package")
