Show HN: Uv-pack – Pack a uv environment for later portable (offline) install (opens in new tab)

Just for the record, "uv environments" are ordinary Python virtual environments, and aside from the "optional portable Python interpreter" they are already contained within a single top-level directory. If just copying that folder wasn't working for you, that's because of absolute paths (in shebangs added to wrapper scripts, in the activation script, and maybe in `pyvenv.cfg` or something like that). Your approach avoids that by giving uv the data required to re-create the environment at the destination. (There have been many tools like this in the past and there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the idea.)
