It's a neat trick, but it still depends on uv being installed and network connectivity.

What's the advantage of this that makes it worth despite these constraints, compared to e.g. using pyinstaller [1] to build and distribute a single executable file with the python interpreter and all the dependencies of your project bundled in it in the exact versions you chose in your development virtual environment?

It's not for production grade stuff, it's for small scripts you want to send to someone for a little job.

sometimes, i want to share a script with a friend or with a coworker and setting everything up from scratch is such a pain.

this makes everything SO much easier.
