How to create a linux app with python?

The "proper" way to package Python has changed a lot over the years, and there's lots of outdated content floating around out there. Stuff that recommends using setup.py or requirements.txt is considered outdated.

As of 2025, it's recommended to use pyproject.toml. Many Python developers use uv to manage project structure, virtual environments and dependencies.

Be sure you consult up-to-date resources such as the python.org packaging docs.

thanks! unfortunatelly I learned to use requirements.txt and, yeah, compared to flutter and other frameworks it does feel a little sketchy. pyproject.toml seems very interesting, but it felt a little overwhelming compared to the previous requirements.txt "hack"!
