PEP 723 is an accepted proposal to in-line script metadata. One such
use cases is to put script dependencies inside the script, which makes
the requirements.txt redundant [1].
With the correct shebang, it becomes even possible to run the script
directly, without creating a virtual environment and installing
dependencies in advance.
Combining both makes the execution of single-file scripts within RIOT
much easier and friendlier.
PEP 723 metadata can be used by `pipx` [2] and can be easily
installed when `pip` is available.
[1] `pip install` still requires a requirements.txt, which is
generally accepted during development. An open issue exists to
add support for reading dependencies from PEP 723 as well. See
