Do you recommend poetry?
I've been meaning to try it but haven't had the time to migrate an existing project to poetry.
- neolog 6y agoYeah it's pretty good. There are plenty of problems and holes of course, but for most pure-Python packages it does a nice job most of the time. If you're an expert, you can do it with setup.py or setup.cfg, but I don't think it's normally worth the trouble.
- atoav 6y agoI used poetry for multiple projects already and I quite like it because it makes version management really straightforward and you can just go like poetry new foo And it will setup all the basic stuff for you right away. Having all the project dependecies and Metadata in pyproject.toml makes sense and reduces cognitive overload. Having poetry manage your venvs autmagically is a good extra. There is still room for improvement, e.g. I had some trouble with their install script at times (python vs python3)
