Helpful script, except it prints the same line regardless of the version found.

Tom M. Apostol's Project Mathematics videos circa 1988-2000 are wonderful:

New comment by fjarlq in "Using uv as your shebang line"

fjarlq — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 22:29:16 +0000

This is true. For example, the following shebang/uv header works on both macOS and Linux:

  #!/usr/bin/env -S uv --quiet run --script
  # /// script
  # requires-python = ">=3.13"
  # dependencies = [
  #     "python-dateutil",
  # ]
  # ///
  #
  # [python script that needs dateutil]
