Poetry

Used for Python dependency management and packaging. Must be installed manually.

• python-poetry.org
• github.com/python-poetry/poetry

Whenever this repository is cloned, the environment needs to be installed. Same goes for pulling changes that include dependency updates. The following command installs dependencies including development dependencies:

poetry install

You can jump into the created environment:

poetry shell

Another alternative is to prepend commands with poetry run.

Poetry is configured via ../pyproject.toml. In general Poetry related configuration should be done via the Poetry CLI.

The lockfile ../poetry.lock should never be adjusted by hand.

Housekeeping

Update dependencies

To automatically update dependencies and bump versions in pyproject.toml, plugins can be used. For example poetry-plugin-up. To install the plugin, execute:

poetry self add poetry-plugin-up

Now it can be used like this:

poetry up

Update Poetry itself

poetry self update
