User A wrote a nifty little tool in Python. On Windows. Several weeks of work.
User B wants to use it as well.
They copy it, try to run it. Doesn't work.
Call me for help.
A: "It works on my machine. B must configure his python exactly like I do!"
Me: "Can't we run it in a virtual environment (venv). Or with a docker image?"
A: "Hm, I would have to learn how to do that. Is this really necessary?"
Me:

@… I mean, the python ecosystem was around long before uv.
Which aspects are you trying to replace?
Pip can still download packages, venv can still create virtual envs. It’s just not as neatly tied up into a package to use.

I put a hash-bang at the beginning of the file, pointing to my system local python3 installation.
No venv, no pypackage.toml.
No build scripts or AGENTS.md.
The Horror!
