Poetry Dependency Manager

A guide to managing Python projects, dependencies, and virtual environments with Poetry's modern toolchain.

Usage

Ask about Poetry setup, dependency management, packaging, or publishing Python packages.

Examples

• "Set up a new Python project with Poetry"
• "How do I manage development dependencies separately?"
• "Publish a package to PyPI with Poetry"

Guidelines

• Always commit poetry.lock for reproducible installs
• Use dependency groups for separating dev and prod dependencies
• Pin direct dependencies and let Poetry resolve transitive ones
• Use poetry run for executing commands in the virtual environment
• Configure Poetry to create virtual environments in-project
