Poetry: Python dependency management and packaging made easy
- malcolmgreaves 8y agoWhy not use conda for dependency management & packaging? The GH page makes no mention of conda. Not sure if it's all that different from Poetry, as I haven't used it yet. I do wonder, however, if this is yet another new tool when there exist more mature solutions. From the documentation, the move to a single file for build & dependency specification is great. conda requires a rather Byzantine set of files with specific names at specific relative locations, which is troublesome.

- paulie_a 8y agoIs there something that this handles that pip/requirements doesn't? Python has always been a breeze for this situation.
- sdispater 8y agoPoetry comes with an exhaustive and efficient dependency resolver which pip does not have. It's also a packaging tool, which means you can build and publish packages with (on PyPI for instance). And finally, it always creates a virtualenv for each project so that you always work isolated from the global Python installation.
- smittywerben 8y agoFrom first-glance, Poetry seems the best of the new generation of package managers. I do not like pipenv. When the overhead for miniconda distributed is ~50mb, the python packages I use are ~500-750mb. I don't understand why this is such a point of contention in this community.
