python-tooling
Use when managing Python packages, virtual environments, or linting and formatting Python code
npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill python-tooling --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Python Tooling ## When to Use - Installing Python packages or creating virtual environments - Running Python scripts with dependency isolation - Linting Python code for errors, style issues, or import sorting - Formatting Python code consistently - Managing Python project dependencies (pyproject.toml) - Auto-fixing Python lint issues ## Tools | Tool | Purpose | Structured output | |------|---------|-------------------| | **uv** | Ultra-fast Python package manager and venv tool (Rust, 10-100x faster than pip) | N/A (status messages) | | **Ruff** | Extremely fast Python linter + formatter (Rust, replaces black + flake8 + isort) | `--output-format json` for JSON | ## Patterns ### Create a virtual environment ```bash uv venv ``` ### Create venv with specific Python version ```bash uv venv --python 3.12 ``` ### Install packages into current venv ```bash uv pip install requests pandas numpy ``` ### Install from requirements.txt ```bash uv pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Run a script with auto-managed dependencies ```bash uv run --with requests --with beautifulsoup4 script.py ``` ### Run a script with inline dependencies (PEP 723) ```bash uv run script.py ``` Where `script.py` h

- Patterns
- Create a virtual environment
- Create venv with specific Python version
- Install packages into current venv
- Install from requirements.txt
- Run a script with auto-managed dependencies
- Run a script with inline dependencies (PEP 723)
- Initialize a new Python project
- Add a dependency to pyproject.toml
- Add a dev dependency
- Lint Python code with JSON output
- Lint and show only errors (no warnings)

What does the python-tooling skill do?
Use when managing Python packages, virtual environments, or linting and formatting Python code
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill python-tooling --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,630 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
