uvk — Fully isolated IPython kernels through the magic of uv

This project uses uv's ultrafast package deployment capabilities and on-the-fly isolated environment composition to run the IPython kernel in a Jupyter instance.

  • Notebooks can grab their dependencies and leave neither trouble nor cruft behind
  • No need for a whole pyproject.toml just to run somebody's notebook once
  • Elegantly integrate Jupyter notebooks into uv-driven project development workflows
Full documentation Tutorial IPython extension CLI reference

Quickstart-and-dirty

I have uv 😎 I only have Python and Pip
uvx uvk --user python -m venv .uvk \
&& . ./.uvk/bin/activate \
&& pip install uvk \
&& uvk --user

If your Jupyter instance is already running, wait up to a minute for it to poll for kernel specs and discover your new uvk. Otherwise, start Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook.

Check out the tutorial on how to easily put together the metadata that will meet your needs.
