Install and use uv — the fast Python package and project manager. Use when: user needs to install uv, manage Python versions, create virtual environments, install packages/tools, run Python scripts with inline deps, or set up any Python-based skill that requires uv. uv is the standard Python tool manager for this OpenClaw installation.

Install

npx vskill@latest install openxjarvis/openclaw-python/uv

SKILL.md

uv — Python Package & Project Manager

uv is a fast, all-in-one Python tool manager (replaces pip, pip-tools, pipx, pyenv, virtualenv). It is required by many OpenClaw skills that run Python scripts or install Python CLI tools.

Check if uv is installed

bash
uv --version

Install uv (if not present)

macOS / Linux (recommended)
bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

After install, reload PATH:

bash
source ~/.bashrc 2>/dev/null || source ~/.zshrc 2>/dev/null || export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
macOS via Homebrew
bash
brew install uv
pip (if Python already available)
bash
pip install uv
Windows (PowerShell)
powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Verify install:

bash
uv --version

Install Python CLI Tools (uv tool install)

Use for tools that expose a command-line binary (nano-pdf, ruff, etc.):

bash
# Install a tool globally (available system-wide)
uv tool install nano-pdf
uv tool install ruff
uv tool install httpie
# Install a specific version
uv tool install nano-pdf==0.3.1
# List installed tools
uv tool list
# Upgrade a tool
uv tool upgrade nano-pdf
# Uninstall a tool
uv tool uninstall nano-pdf

Install Packages (uv pip install)

Drop-in replacement for pip install, uses the active virtual environment:

bash
# Install a package
uv pip install requests
uv pip install "python-pptx>=0.6.23"
# Install from requirements file
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
# Install current project in editable mode
uv pip install -e .
# Show installed package info
uv pip show requests
# List all installed packages
uv pip list
# Uninstall
uv pip uninstall requests

Run Scripts (uv run)

Run a Python script without manually activating a venv. Handles dependencies automatically:

bash
# Run a script directly
uv run script.py
# Run with extra packages (inline, no venv needed)
uv run --with requests script.py
uv run --with "requests>=2.28" --with pillow script.py
# Run a module
uv run -m http.server 8080
# Run with a specific Python version
uv run --python 3.12 script.py

For scripts with inline dependency metadata (PEP 723):

python
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.11"
# dependencies = ["requests", "pillow"]
# ///
import requests
...
bash
uv run script.py # auto-installs requests and pillow

Manage Python Versions

bash
# Install a specific Python version
uv python install 3.12
uv python install 3.11 3.12 3.13
# List installed Python versions
uv python list
# Pin Python version for current project
uv python pin 3.12

Virtual Environments

bash
# Create a virtual environment
uv venv # creates .venv in current dir
uv venv myenv # custom name
uv venv --python 3.12 # specific Python version
# Activate (standard shell activation)
source .venv/bin/activate # macOS/Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
# Install packages into the venv
uv pip install requests

Project Management (uv sync / uv add)

For projects with pyproject.toml:

bash
# Sync all dependencies from lockfile
uv sync
# Add a dependency
uv add requests
uv add "fastapi>=0.100"
# Add a dev dependency
uv add --dev pytest
# Remove a dependency
uv remove requests
# Lock without installing
uv lock

Common Patterns for OpenClaw Skills

Run a skill script with dependencies
bash
uv run {skillDir}/scripts/my_script.py --arg value
Install a Python skill tool then run it
bash
uv tool install nano-pdf
nano-pdf ...
Quick one-off script with packages
bash
uv run --with httpx --with rich python3 -c "
import httpx, rich
r = httpx.get('https://api.github.com')
rich.print(r.json())
"

Troubleshooting

`uv: command not found` after install:

bash
# Add uv to PATH manually
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" # curl install default location
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" # some Linux distros
# Then add to shell profile permanently:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

`uv tool install` binary not found after install:

bash
# uv tool binaries live in:
uv tool dir --bin # shows the bin directory
# Ensure it's in PATH:
export PATH="$(uv tool dir --bin):$PATH"

Permission error on Linux:

bash
# Run with user install (no sudo needed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# uv always installs to user space (~/.cargo/bin), never needs sudo

Slow install / behind proxy:

bash
UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120 uv tool install nano-pdf
