I've used the Sentence Transformers Python library successfully for this: https://www.sbert.net/
My own LLM CLI tool and Python library includes plugin-based support for embeddings (or you can use API-based embeddings like those from Jina or OpenAI) - here's my list of plugins that enable new embeddings models: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins/directory.html#em...
The languagemodels[1] package that I maintain might meet your needs.
My primary use case is education, as myself and others use this for short student projects[2] related to LLMs, but there's nothing preventing this package from being used in other ways. It includes a basic in-process vector store[3].
