good point @will-moore; https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-python/pull/1952 should address this

the script you included does not include all the dependencies. Here's a modified version that does: ```python # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.11" # dependencies = [ # "zarr@git+https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-python.git@main",...

that's good news. it would be nice to avoid explicit special cases here though. maybe we should fall back to generic URL parsing instead of relying on the nearly worthless...

I'll have a look later today
