[Python] uv's [project.scripts] won't activate the environment in venv

I have a uv project with the structure

[project]
name = "trapallada"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Add your description here"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
"pandas>=2.2.3",
"plotly>=6.0.1",
<more stuff>
]

[tool.uv]
package = true


[project.scripts]
"trap_download_obs.py" = "trapallada.xsa.util:cl_download_observations"


(the package = true is meant to package the code in directory trapallada, which is inside the project directory)

When I do uv pip install -e ., the script "trap_download_obs.py" is created in .venv/bin but can't actually be run since, seemingly, the venv environment is not activated. The content of the script is

#!/export/usuarios01/mvazquez/Sync/git/trapallada/.venv/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
from trapallada.xsa.util import cl_download_observations
if __name__ == "__main__":
if sys.argv[0].endswith("-script.pyw"):
sys.argv[0] = sys.argv[0][:-11]
elif sys.argv[0].endswith(".exe"):
sys.argv[0] = sys.argv[0][:-4]
sys.exit(cl_download_observations())


and the error

File "/export/usuarios01/mvazquez/Sync/git/trapallada/.venv/bin/trap_download_obs.py", line 4, in <module>
from trapallada.xsa.util import cl_download_observations
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'trapallada'


If I activate the environment myself, then from trapallada.xsa.util import cl_download_observations will run.

Any clue?
