....but you have to be able to get UV and on some platforms (e.g. a raspberry pi) it won't build because the version of rust is too old. So I wrote a script called "pv" in python which works a bit like uv - just enough to get my program to work. It made me laugh a bit, but it works anywhere, well enough for my usecase. All I had to do was embed a primitive AI generated TOML parser in it.

The standard recommendation for this is `tomli`, which became the basis of the standard library `tomllib` in 3.11.
