   I just announced my conditional acceptance of https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/ over at https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-722-723-decision/36763 . Hopefully this will make writing single-file scripts a much easier proposition for people when they want to reach for something not contained in the stdlib.

     @zzzeek @brettcannon the ability to share information within a single copy-paste is really valuable. Imagine getting bug reports with a .py file that embeds all of its requirements metadata such that you can immediately run it with locked dependencies at precise versions. Once you need 2 files, complexity for sharing in a bug tracker comment goes through the roof. Same for anywhere else you can paste a blob of text.

     @brettcannon looks like a tough spot, first I'm seeing this and my initial impression, which is worth nothing, is "why?" , but given that, certainly using a format we already have and is extensible is preferable to "let's make a whole new format that's "easy"", because any format that's "easy" only seems that way because it hasnt matured.
