What Hacker News says
7 sourcesPoetry is a new tool to help you manage your Python projects.
It is both a dependency management tool and a packaging tool. Note that for the moment the focus has been on the dependency management part but the work on the packaging/publishing has started and is ready for simple, pure-python projects.
Most of the reasons why I started this are detailed in the README (along with why I don’t want to use Pipenv) but if you want to know the advantages of Poetry compared to existing tools, here are a few:
- Exhaustive dependency resolver
- Intuitive CLI (See [Commands](https://github.com/sdispater/poetry#commands))
- Emphasis on semantic versioning and constraint specification so that wildcard dependencies (`*`) will be considered bad practice
- Support for dependencies caret, tilde, wildcard, inequality and multiple requirements.
- Only one fi
Read the rest
le: the standardised `pyproject.toml` which aims at being readable and clear.
- Mandatory compatible python versions specification.
This project is a revamped version of [pypoet](https://github.com/sdispater/poet) to have a cleaner codebase.
Be aware that not all the features described in the README are implemented yet (but most of them are).
Also, Poetry is Python 3.6+ only but can manage Python 2 projects without any problem.
And finally, Poetry is not stable yet so internally things can change but the CLI and commands are pretty much stable so backwards-incompatible changes should not happen too often.
Nice to see Python 2 compatibility. I started using poet[0] recently, and faced issues once I tried adding Python 2 support.

1 points · Open discussionAgreed, particularly with packaging.
In the past, I've created scripts that have not needed packaging. Packaging is what is making me fall out of love with Python, especially as I'm learning Rust and seeing how great it can be.
There are many different metadata files with slightly overlapping information without a clear place that documents all of them.
I'd love to see poet take off.
