If you use `uv`, you can declare your dependencies at the top of a script: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/#declaring-script-d...

I've started using Python for many more tasks after I discovered this feature. I'm primarily a JS/TS developer, but the ability to write a "standalone" script that can pull in third-party dependencies without affecting your current project is a massive productivity boost.

I don't think you need any dependencies to match Bash scripting in capability.
