Description

We could also provide another way to do this, eventually? Maybe just python when we have a shim. Maybe a bare uvx.

Research direction
The issue asks to clarify that `uv run python` starts a Python REPL. Review existing documentation in the uv repository, likely in the docs/ directory, and add a clear statement about this behavior. Also consider the suggestion of providing an alternative command (e.g., `uvx` or a shim). Check the discussion in the issue comments for any consensus or additional insights.
