One other key part of this is freezing a timestamp with your dependency list, because Python packages are absolutely terrible at maintaining compatibility a year or three or five later as PyPI populates with newer and newer versions. The special toml incantation is [tool.uv] exclude-newer:

  # /// script
  # dependencies = [
  #   "requests",
  # ]
  # [tool.uv]
  # exclude-newer = "2023-10-16T00:00:00Z"
  # ///

This has also let me easily reconstruct some older environments in less than a minute, when I've been version hunting for 30-60 minutes in the past. The speed of uv environment building helps a ton too.
