uvlift 1.1.4

Interactive dependency updater for uv projects

uvlift

An interactive TUI for updating dependencies in uv-managed Python projects.

Point it at a repo, pick what to update, and uvlift rewrites pyproject.toml and runs uv lock for you. If locking fails, it rolls back.

Installation

# run directly
uvx uvlift

# or install as a tool
uv tool install uvlift

Prebuilt wheels for macOS arm64, Linux x86_64/arm64, and Windows x86_64. Other platforms build from source (requires a Rust toolchain).

Usage

uvlift

Recursively finds all pyproject.toml files under the current directory. If there's only one project, it skips straight to the dependency list.

What it scans

• [project].dependencies
• [project.optional-dependencies]
• [dependency-groups] (PEP 735)

Dependencies in [tool.uv.sources] are skipped automatically.

Supported version specifiers

==, ~=, and >= — single-clause only.

Multi-clause ranges (>=0.27,<1), unpinned deps, direct URLs, and source-managed deps are marked UNSUPPORTED and left untouched.

Building from source

cargo build --release
cp target/release/uvlift ~/.local/bin/

The repo uses maturin (bindings = "bin") to package the Rust binary into a Python wheel, which is what makes uvx uvlift work without a Rust toolchain.

# local smoke test
uvx --from . uvlift

Requirements

• uv on PATH
• A terminal with cursor-position query support
