If PEP 723 is only an enhancement proposal does it work only because `uv` happens to support it?

Can you not use `uvx` with your script because it only works on packages that are installed already or on PyPi?

uvx is useful to run scripts inside PyPi packages. It does not support running Python scripts directly

You can use uvx run scripts with a combination of the --with flag to specify the dependencies and invoking python directly. For e.g

uvx --with youtube-transcript-api python transcript.py

But you wont get the benefit of PEP 723 metadata.

Fun with uv and PEP 723
