To get the current --python-platform value used by uv pip install, you can use the following approach:

1. Check uv Configuration

uv (a fast Python package installer) respects the target platform for pip installations. The --python-platform flag specifies the platform (e.g., linux_x86_64, macos_arm64, windows_amd64).

To see the default platform uv is using, run:

uv pip install --help | grep -A 5 "python-platform"

This will show the default value in the help text.

2. Detect the Current Platform

If you want to detect the platform of the current system, you can use Python:

python -c "import sys, platform; print(f'{platform.system().lower()}_{platform.machine().lower()}')"

This will output something like:

• linux_x86_64
• darwin_arm64 (macOS on Apple Silicon)
• windows_amd64

3. Check uv's Resolved Platform

If you want to see what platform uv resolves for the current environment, run:

uv run python -c "import sys, platform; print(f'{platform.system().lower()}_{platform.machine().lower()}')"

This ensures the platform matches what uv would use.

4. Explicitly Set --python-platform

If you want to force a specific platform, use:

uv pip install <package> --python-platform linux_x86_64

Replace linux_x86_64 with your target (e.g., macos_arm64, windows_amd64).
