[$] Portable Python scripts with dependencies

Description:
A basic Python script is portable: it can be copied between machines with little concern about compatibility.
A script that depends on third-party packages requires quite a bit more
care and consideration, however.
In 2023, PEP
723 ("Inline script metadata") introduced a standard for declaring a Python script's
dependencies inside the script itself.
Several third-party tools can now automatically install and manage those dependencies, but there is still little official support for this standard within Python itself.
