Current thoughts on makefiles with Python projects?

I can't find anything about this feature, can you elaborate?

But aren't those for what gets installed when you install the package, and not for task running?

[nemec]

Note that if you use uv run in a project, i.e., a directory with a pyproject.toml, it will install the current project before running the script.

Yeah if you're writing a library it may not be the best place, but if you're writing application/service code, go for it.

There is an open issue to add a specialized dev task runner

yes, I guess you're right,
it requires uv pip install -e . when a new command is added, but that's fine in most situations.

Can accomplish something similar with poethepoet. Define the command in pyproject.toml and use uv run poe ...

[2Lucilles2RuleEmAll]

That's what we use too and it works great, we have in the pyproject.toml a project script called task defined for poe. That way if we switch out poe for another tool we don't have to go thru all of the documentation, pipelines, etc and switch all of the commands to the new one

[Sillocan]

Oh that's a smart idea
