Same old stuff
- as with many so-called modern tools, solutions take a back seat to gloss
- composability also suffers
Install
- recommended install of poetry itself is to a venv (makes sense) but you must not activate that venv
- this violates the principle of least astonishment, especially when poetry then breezily installs app requirements into its own venv
Solution
- install all poetry commands (in practice just one, also called poetry) using
motivate -S poetrywhere motivate is provided by venvpool- the poetry command (in ~/.local/bin) will then create/use a suitable venv for itself just-in-time
- you can specify version constraints e.g.
motivate -S 'poetry>=1.8,<2'- use
-fto overwrite existing command
- use
Keyring
- downloading packages from pypi is anonymous, but poetry tries to unlock your keyring to do so, and hangs if you refuse
- to be fair, the keyring package has an all or nothing design
- to fix you can do
poetry config keyring.enabled false- but according to the docs, this will cause credentials to be stored in plaintext which is replacing one problem with a time bomb
