Installation#

shakeout is a command-line tool for CPython 3.10 or newer. Its only dependency is tomli, on 3.10.

$ uvx shakeout --version

$ uv tool install shakeout
$ shakeout --version

$ pipx install shakeout

Build with the interpreter you deploy on

shakeout locates the standard library and third-party packages the way the running interpreter would. To target a specific version, run it with that interpreter, for example uvx --python 3.13 shakeout .... For third-party dependencies, --uv installs the locked versions for a chosen --python-version and --platform. See Dependencies and uv.

uv integration#

uv has no plugin interface, so shakeout runs as a separate tool:

  • it reads its settings from [tool.shakeout] in the same pyproject.toml uv uses;
  • it uses uv to install the dependencies pinned in uv.lock when you pass --uv.
