PEP 723 Support - bakefile

bakefile supports PEP 723 inline script metadata, so your bakefile.py can declare its own dependencies:

# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.14"
# dependencies = [
#     "bakefile>=0.0.0",
# ]
# ///

from bake import Bakebook, command, console

bakebook = Bakebook()


@bakebook.command()
def hello():
    console.echo("Hello from standalone bakefile!")

Add the metadata to an existing bakefile with bakefile add-inline, or generate a new one with it from the start:

bakefile init --inline

When to use it

Inline metadata suits non-Python projects without a pyproject.toml. A single file carries its own dependencies, no project setup needed. For Python projects, add bakefile to your project’s dependencies instead.

Managing dependencies

The bakefile CLI wraps uv for PEP 723 bakefiles: sync, lock, add, and pip all target the bakefile’s own environment. See the bakefile CLI.
