Run a Python tool in an isolated environment using uvx

Runs a command-line tool provided by a Python package in an ephemeral, isolated environment.

Usage

uvx(tool, args = character(), flags = character(), quiet = FALSE)

tool: A single character string. The tool (package) to run (e.g. "ruff", "black", "pycowsay").
args: Character vector of arguments passed to the tool.
flags: Character vector of uv flags passed to uv tool run (e.g. "--from", "ruff==0.6.2").
quiet: Logical; whether to suppress uv output.

A processx result object, returned invisibly.

This is a thin wrapper around uv tool run (i.e. uvx).

uvx("ruff", args = c("--version"), quiet = TRUE)
#> Error: ! command is not a string (length 1 character)
