The /// script block is actually specified in PEP 723 and supported by several other tools apart from uv.

That's good to hear; do you know what other tools support it?

From what I can tell, Hatch, PDM, pipx and pip-run also support it.

The last time I commented extolling the virtues of uv on here, I got a similar reply, pointing out that PEP 723 specs this behavior, and uv isn’t the only way. So I’ll try again in this thread: I’m bullish on uv, and waiting for Cunningham.

I am all in on uv as well, and advocating for its use heavily at $dayjob. But I think having as much as possible of these things encoded in standards is good for the ecosystem. Maybe in a few years time, someone will make something even better than uv. And in the meantime, having things standardised speeds up adoption in e.g. syntax highlighting in editors and such.
