Setup — Genkit Python
New project
Always use a virtual environment — never install Genkit into the system interpreter. With uv, the project’s .venv is created and used by uv sync / uv run automatically once you add dependencies.
mkdir my-app && cd my-app
uv init
uv venv --python 3.14 .venv
# Unix: source .venv/bin/activate
# Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv add genkit genkit-plugin-google-genai
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here
uv init creates pyproject.toml. Add your app under something like src/main.py (or match whatever layout uv generated) and point genkit start at that entrypoint.
pyproject.toml
Minimal [project] block with unpinned Genkit deps (resolver picks compatible releases):
[project]
name = "my-app"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.14"
dependencies = [
"genkit",
"genkit-plugin-google-genai",
]
Plugins
Packages are genkit-plugin-* on PyPI, e.g. genkit-plugin-google-genai, genkit-plugin-vertex-ai, genkit-plugin-anthropic, genkit-plugin-fastapi. Install with uv add genkit-plugin-<name>.
Python version
3.14+. Always use a venv using uv venv --python 3.14 .venv when creating the environment before you run any commands.
