  • Python Poetry is a dependency management and packaging tool for Python. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Poetry offers a lockfile to ensure repeatable installs, and can build your project for distribution.
  • There are several benefits to using Python Poetry for dependency management:
    • Ease of use: Poetry is very easy to use. It has a simple command-line interface and a well-written documentation.
    • Powerful dependency resolver: Poetry's dependency resolver is very powerful. It can handle complex dependency relationships and always finds a solution if one exists.
    • Support for virtual environments: Poetry supports virtual environments by default. This helps to isolate your project's dependencies from other Python projects on your system.
    • Reproducible installs: Poetry uses a lockfile to ensure that your dependencies are installed in the same way every time. This makes it easy to reproduce your project's environment on other machines.

  • QUOTE: My setup for python projects for the longest time has been the following:
    • pyenv for managing python versions.
    • venv for managing virtual environments (included in python3).
    • pip for dependency handling, and publishing.
  • As part of my usual stack I also develop a lot in Javascript or Java and I always envied the huge amount of features other package managers and build tools I use daily in my stack like npm, yarn or gradle had in comparison to pip.
  • Enter Poetry, poetry is a tool for dependency management and packaging in python that uses pip behind the scenes, but it bakes a ton of functionality on top. So the title is a little misleading as we are still using pip indirectly.
