Run your first Python script

In this tutorial, we’ll create and run a basic Python hello world program.

Prerequisite

Before we begin, make sure you have uv installed on your system. You can install it following the directions from the uv documentation.

Creating Your Script

Create a new directory and script:

mkdir hello-uv
cd hello-uv

Create hello.py:

print("Hello, World!")

Running the Script

Run your script with:

uv run hello.py

You’ll see:

Hello, World!

That’s it! You’ve successfully run your first script with Python.
