Personally I've had problems with poetry managing virtualenvs in the past so I just don't let it touch them any more. Maybe it's better now, but I don't see any reason to risk it, given how often Python seems to like to ruin my day.
I also don't like that by default it wants you to use `poetry run` to run things. Sure you can configure it not to, but it still annoys me
- Hackbraten 3y agoOne issue I’ve been encountering is that Poetry isn’t aware of pyenv or `.python-version`. So what I do to initially build my venv is: pyenv exec pip install poetry && pyenv exec poetry install This creates the venv against the correct Python version, and I can now do without `pyenv exec` for this repository. And every time that `.python-version` changes (which I at most do a few times per year per project,) I throw away the `.venv`, do `pyenv install -s` and start over. Your `poetry run` point still stands, though.
- 0x008 3y agoNow you have poetry installed for every version of python and need to keep track of updating all of those poetry installs. Python really makes things difficult :D
- Hackbraten 3y ago> Now you […] need to keep track of updating all of those poetry installs. You’re absolutely right. On second thought, I guess I only need these Poetry installs just once anyway: for creating the venv and then never again. That’s not worth it. So here’s a new method that does away with these extra Poetry installs: pyenv exec python -m venv .venv && poetry install assuming that a `poetry.toml` exists with `virtualenvs.in-project` set to `true`. Going to adopt this variant from now on, I guess. Thank you for your thoughts!
