Pipenv only targets applications; Poetry targets both applications and libraries. Pipenv has quite some drama behind it that I do not want to get into; in contrast, Poetry's development has been quite professional. Pipenv enjoys better tool support, e.g. it is recognized and supported by VS Code; but Poetry does not have the same level of support.
- kbd 6y agoFWIW here's VSCode's issue for supporting Poetry[1] and here's their plan to support it[2]: [1] https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/8372 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/8372 [2] https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Support-poetry-virtual-environments https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Support-poet...
- monsieurbanana 6y agoI don't know anything about pipenv drama, so by morbid curiosity I looked for it and this is the first thing I found: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/2228 https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/2228 This is one of the most ridiculous issues I've read. If the rest of the "drama" is like that, then eh.
- smnrchrds 6y agoThe drama was surrounding false advertising so to speak. Pipenv promised a lot but did not quite deliver, much like the earlier days of MongoDB. But more importantly, it pretended or at least heavily implied it was an official PSF-affiliated project, when it was not. How that claim was substantiated was also subject to drama.
- ric2b 6y agoIt also had no releases for over a year, even though the master branch was getting frequent updates and the performance of the last release was atrocious (and I'm not sure if it has improved much). I did like the emojis in the logs though.
