How to use uv to run gist

#python #uv #gist

uv Script

uv script is a great tool for running scripts with out having concern about dependencies, you need just add the following at top of the document and then write your script

# /// script
# dependencies = [
#   "requests<3",
#   "rich",
# ]
# ///

a uv script example

# /// script
# dependencies = [
#   "requests<3",
#   "rich",
# ]
# ///
import requests
from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table

# Amsterdam coordinates
lat, lon = 52.37, 4.89
url = (
    "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast"
    f"?latitude={lat}&longitude={lon}"
    "&current=temperature_2m,wind_speed_10m"
)

resp = requests.get(url)
data = resp.json()["current"]

table = Table(title="Amsterdam Weather")
table.add_column("Time")
table.add_column("Temperature (°C)")
table.add_column("Wind Speed (km/h)")

table.add_row(
    data["time"],
    str(data["temperature_2m"]),
    str(data["wind_speed_10m"])
)

Console().print(table)

save that in a file like amsterdam_weather.py then run

$ uv run amsterdam_weather.py

and it’s done!

Best Part: Gist

Just upload your code in a gist and run like this

uv run https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ghodsizadeh/476e1d3833ac5bca817125c0c59294ce/raw/b65be020a9cf59fd29dba380baad550f37cf5f69/amsterdam_weather.py

And of course you can add argparse if you want!
