## Summary
Relates to #10273.
This doesn't solve what is highlighted in
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/10273#issuecomment-2569515066,
but I believe this is still an improvement for users not setting
`upgrade = true` in `[tool.uv]`.
## Test Plan
Ran commands locally:
```shell
$ cargo run --quiet -- lock --locked --upgrade
error: the argument '--check' cannot be used with '--upgrade'
Usage: uv lock --check
For more information, try '--help'.
```

## Summary
I use `uv` for automation on remote hosts and it would be useful to have
it be able to tell me the supported versions of python (for the remote
machine) in a machine readable manner so I do not need to parse `uv
python list`.
This change adds `--format (json|text)` to `uv python list` to make it's
output machine readable
Loosely related:
- https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/411
## Test Plan
Manually tested via
```
# quick inspection without pretty print
cargo run -- python list --format json
```
### Short example of output (trimmed down)
Cmd: `cargo run -- python list --format json | jq '.[:2]'`
```json

## Summary
Resolves#5952
Add a `--path` option to `uv pip freeze` to be compatible with `pip
freeze`
## Test Plan
New snapshot tests

#8061 incorrectly claims to change the delimiter for `UV_FIND_LINKS`
from spaces to commas. In reality, it prevents `UV_FIND_LINKS` from
being split. This commit fixes that.
## Summary
You can now run `uv tree --script main.py` to show the dependency tree
for a given script. If a lockfile doesn't exist, it will create one.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/7328.
## Summary
`uv add --script main.py anyio` will now update the lockfile, _if_ it
already exists. (If no such lockfile exists, the behavior is unchanged.)
## Summary
This PR adds `ls` alias to `uv {tool, python, pip} list` for
convenience.
Not sure if folks previously discussed this or have any opinion on
having aliases – but I have a muscle memory for `ls` for listing things
in commands I'm using (like `docker images ls`, `zellij ls`, `helm ls`
etc.) and thought having `ls` alias for `list` command would be useful.
## Test Plan
I simply compiled `uv` and manually checked `./target/release/uv {tool,
python, pip} ls`.
## Summary
You can now run `uv lock --script main.py` to lock a given script
(though as of this PR, the script itself isn't used anywhere).
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/6318.
## Summary
This allows, e.g., `uv remove flask[dotenv]` to remove `flask`. Like
`pip install` and `uv pip install`, the content after the package name
has no effect.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/9764.
## Summary
Closes#7913 by adding an optional `--description` argument to `uv init`
that fills the description field in the pyproject.toml with the supplied
arg value.
Updated `uv init` docs to describe this new optional argument.
<!-- What's the purpose of the change? What does it do, and why? -->
## Test Plan
Added snapshot tests in `uv/crates/uv/tests/it/init.rs` to test this
functionality.
<!-- How was it tested? -->

## Summary
`uv run --exact` will remove any unnecessary packages prior to running
the given command. (By default, `uv run` uses "inexact" semantics.)
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/7838.
## Summary
This PR makes the behavior in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/9827
the default: we try to select the latest supported package version for
each supported Python version, but we still optimize for choosing fewer
versions when stratifying by platform.
However, you can opt out with `--fork-strategy fewest`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/7190.
When publishing, we currently ask the user to set `--publish-url` to the
upload URL and `--check-url` to the simple index URL, or the equivalent
configuration keys. But that's redundant with the `[[tool.uv.index]]`
declaration. Instead, we extend `[[tool.uv.index]]` with a `publish-url`
entry and allow passing `uv publish --index <name>`.
`uv publish --index <name>` requires the `pyproject.toml` to be present
when publishing, unlike using `--publish-url ... --check-url ...` which
can be used e.g. in CI without a checkout step. `--index` also always
uses the check URL feature to aid upload consistency.
The documentation tries to explain both approaches together, which
overlap for the check URL feature.
Fixes#8864

Addresses #6805
## Summary
This PR adds a `--gui-script` flag to `uv run` that allows running
Python scripts with `pythonw.exe` on Windows, regardless of file
extension. This solves the issue where users need to maintain duplicate
`.py` and `.pyw` files to run the same script with and without a console
window.
The implementation follows the pattern established by the existing
`--script` flag, but uses `pythonw.exe` instead of `python.exe` on
Windows. On non-Windows platforms, the flag is present but returns an
error indicating it's Windows-only functionality.
Changes:
- Added `--gui-script` flag (Windows-only)
- Added Windows test to verify GUI script behavior
- Added non-Windows test to verify proper error message
- Updated CLI documentation
## Test Plan
The changes are tested through:
1. New Windows-specific test that verifies:
- Script runs successfully with `pythonw.exe` when using `--gui-script`
- Console output is suppressed in GUI mode but visible in regular mode
- Same script can be run both ways without modification
2. New non-Windows test that verifies:
- Appropriate error message when `--gui-script` is used on non-Windows
platforms
3. Documentation updates to clearly indicate Windows-only functionality

## Summary
This PR adds `--install-dir` argument for the following commands:
- `uv python install`
- `uv python uninstall`
The `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR` env variable can be used to set it
(previously it was also used internally).
Any more commands we would want to add this to?
## Test Plan
For now just manual test (works on my machine hehe)
```
❯ ./target/debug/uv python install --install-dir /tmp/pythons 3.8.12
Searching for Python versions matching: Python 3.8.12
Installed Python 3.8.12 in 4.31s
+ cpython-3.8.12-linux-x86_64-gnu
❯ /tmp/pythons/cpython-3.8.12-linux-x86_64-gnu/bin/python --help
usage: /tmp/pythons/cpython-3.8.12-linux-x86_64-gnu/bin/python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
```
Open to add some tests after the initial feedback.

## Summary
Before:
```console
$ cargo run -- --version
uv 0.5.7 (b17902da0 2024-12-09)
```
After:
```console
$ cargo run -- --version
uv 0.5.7+14 (7cd0ab77a 2024-12-09)
```
Currently `cargo run -- --version` does not includes the number of
commits since last tag, because `cargo-dist` create non-annotated tag,
and
`git log -1 --date=short --abbrev=9 --format='%H %h %cd %(describe)'`
use only annoated tags by default.
```console
$ git log -1 --date=short --abbrev=9 --format='%H %h %cd %(describe)'
7cd0ab77a97cd0ab77a 2024-12-09
```
To include these tags, use `git log -1 --date=short --abbrev=9
--format='%H %h %cd %(describe:tags)'`, which will display:
```console
$ git log -1 --date=short --abbrev=9 --format='%H %h %cd %(describe:tags)'
7cd0ab77a97cd0ab77a 2024-12-09 0.5.7-14-g7cd0ab77a
```
Add the `uv build --list`, a "subcommand" to list the files that would
be included when building a distribution. It does not build the
distribution, except when a source dist is required for source dist ->
wheel. This is an important debugging tool for the include and exclude
options: Did i actually include the files I wanted, or am i shipping a
broken distribution? Are there any temporary files I still need to
exclude?
Cargo offers this as `cargo package --list`.
`--list` is preview-exclusive, since it requires the fast path, which I
also put into preview.
Examples:



I'll fix the error handling in a follow-up.
Tagging as enhancement because it changes the stable output slightly
(two lines instead of one).
CC @charliermarsh for uv-wide consistency in the stdout/stderr handling.
## Summary
This change introduces the `UV_NO_INSTALLER_METADATA` environment
variable
as a way to opt out of the extra installer metadata files that `uv` is
creating.
This is important to achieve reproducible builds in distribution
packaging, allowing to replace usage of
[installer](https://pypi.org/project/installer) with `uv pip install`.
At the time of writing these files are:
- `uv_cache.json`
Contains timestamps which are non-reproducible.
These hashes also leak in to the `RECORD` file.
- `direct_url.json`
Contains the path to the installed wheel.
While not non-reproducible it's not required for distribution packaging.
- `INSTALLER`
Again, not non-reproducible, but of no value in distribution packaging.
## Test Plan
Automated test added.

Adds a `--default` flag to `uv python install` in preview. This includes
a `python` and `python{major}` executable in addition to the
`python{major}.{minor}` executable. We will replace uv-managed
executables, but externally managed executables require the `--force`
flag to overwrite.
If you run `uv python install` (without arguments), we include the
`--default` flag implicitly to populate `python` and `python3` for the
"default" install version.
In the future, we should add a warning if the installed executable isn't
at the front of the PATH.
Going through PEP 517 to build a package is slow, so when building a
package with the uv build backend, we can call into the uv build backend
directly. This is the basis for the `uv build --list`.
This does not enable the fast path for general source dependencies.
There is a possible difference in execution if the latest uv version is
newer than the one currently running: The PEP 517 path would use the
latest version, while the fast path uses the current version.
Please review commit-by-commit
### Benchmark
`built_with_uv`, using the fast path:
```
$ hyperfine "~/projects/uv/target/profiling/uv build"
Time (mean ± σ): 9.2 ms ± 1.1 ms [User: 4.6 ms, System: 4.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 6.4 ms … 12.7 ms 290 runs
```
`hatcling_editable`, with hatchling being optimized for fast startup
times:
```
$ hyperfine "~/projects/uv/target/profiling/uv build"
Time (mean ± σ): 270.5 ms ± 18.4 ms [User: 230.8 ms, System: 44.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 250.7 ms … 298.4 ms 10 runs
```
## Summary
This proposes adding the command line option `uv pip uninstall --dry-run
...`, complementing the existing `uv pip install --dry-run ...` added
for #1244 in #1436.
This option does not exist in PyPA's `pip uninstall`, if adopted it
would be unique to `uv pip`. The code should be considered PoC, it is
baby's first Rust.
The initial motivation was while investigating
https://github.com/moreati/ansible-uv/issues/2 - to allow Ansible module
`moreati.uv.pip` to work with`state: absent` in "check_mode" (Ansible's
equivalent of a dry run), without requiring `packaging` or `setuptools`.
## Test Plan
One new unit test has been added. I pedge to add more if the feature is
desired/accepted

## Summary
Resolves#9333
This pull request introduces support for the `--no-extra` command-line
flag and the corresponding `no-extra` UV setting.
### Behavior
- When `--all-extras` is supplied, the specified extras in `--no-extra`
will be excluded from the installation.
- If `--all-extras` is not supplied, `--no-extra` has no effect and is
safely ignored.
## Test Plan
Since `ExtrasSpecification::from_args` and
`ExtrasSpecification::extra_names` are the most important parts in the
implementation, I added the following tests in the
`uv-configuration/src/extras.rs` module:
- **`test_no_extra_full`**: Verifies behavior when `no_extra` includes
the entire list of extras.
- **`test_no_extra_partial`**: Tests partial exclusion, ensuring only
specified extras are excluded.
- **`test_no_extra_empty`**: Confirms that no extras are excluded if
`no_extra` is empty.
- **`test_no_extra_excessive`**: Ensures the implementation ignores
`no_extra` values that don't match any available extras.
- **`test_no_extra_without_all_extras`**: Validates that `no_extra` has
no effect when `--all-extras` is not supplied.
- **`test_no_extra_without_package_extras`**: Confirms correct behavior
when no extras are available in the package.
- **`test_no_extra_duplicates`**: Verifies that duplicate entries in
`pkg_extras` or `no_extra` do not cause errors.
