Libretto

A Simple task runner for pyproject.toml, written in Rust.

Install

uv tool install libretto

Configuration

Libretto can be configured in the [tool.libretto] section of your pyproject.toml file.

venv

Specifies the path to the virtual environment to use when running tasks.

[tool.libretto]
venv = ".venv"

Example

[tool.libretto]
venv = ".venv"

[tool.libretto.tasks]
hello = "echo 'Hello, World!'"

Usage

Libretto reads tasks from the pyproject.toml file in the current directory. Tasks are defined in the [tool.libretto.tasks] section.

To run a task, use the libretto command followed by the task name:

libretto <task_name>

For example, to run the hello task from the example above:

libretto hello

This will output:

Hello, World!

Passing Additional Arguments

You can pass additional arguments to your tasks. For example, if you have a task defined as:

[tool.libretto.tasks]
greet = "echo Hello"

You can run it with an additional argument:

libretto greet John

This will output:

Hello John

Command Lists

You can also define a list of commands for a single task. Libretto will execute them in order.

[tool.libretto.tasks]
build = [
    "echo Building...",
    "py -m build"
]

Running libretto build will execute both commands.

Platform-Specific Commands

You can define platform-specific commands by using a list of tables. list of available platforms is here.

[tool.libretto.tasks]
test = [
    { cmd = "rm --rf dist", platforms = ["linux", "macos"] },
    { cmd = "rmdir /s /q dist", platforms = ["windows"] }
]

Libretto will only execute the command that matches the current platform.
