calling CLIs globally

[zachvalenta]

Question

If I have CLI scripts that depended on third-party packages, I will:

• add necessary deps to global user env (python -m pip install $PKG --user)
• put the script on $PATH

With that, I can call the scripts globally.

I'm trying to move one of these scripts to uv:

uv add --script qing 'send2trash'

#!/usr/bin/env python
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.13"
# dependencies = [
#     "send2trash",
# ]
# ///
import sys
from send2trash import send2trash
for i in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        send2trash(i)
    except OSError:
        print("could not find file/dir to remove")

I can run it with uv if it's in the same directory

$ uv run qing

But it seems like there's no way to run it globally without adding an alias to my .zprofile like alias qing="uv run path/to/qing"

Any way to avoid adding this alias?

I think this is roughly a duplicate of #7242

Dang it, searched through tickets before opening but didn't spot that one. That ticket is indeed more or less what I'm looking for.
