Pipenv vs Poetry
Developers should use Pipenv when working on Python projects that require reproducible dependency management and isolated environments, such as web applications, data science pipelines, or microservices meets developers should use poetry when working on python projects that require reproducible environments, complex dependency management, or publishing to pypi. Here's our take.
Pipenv
Developers should use Pipenv when working on Python projects that require reproducible dependency management and isolated environments, such as web applications, data science pipelines, or microservices
Pipenv
Nice PickDevelopers should use Pipenv when working on Python projects that require reproducible dependency management and isolated environments, such as web applications, data science pipelines, or microservices
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for teams to ensure consistent development and production setups, as it locks dependencies to specific versions, preventing 'works on my machine' issues
- +Related to: python, pip
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Poetry
Developers should use Poetry when working on Python projects that require reproducible environments, complex dependency management, or publishing to PyPI
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for applications with many dependencies, team collaborations to ensure consistency, and modern Python development following PEP 517/518 standards
- +Related to: python, pyproject-toml
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Pipenv if: You want it is particularly useful for teams to ensure consistent development and production setups, as it locks dependencies to specific versions, preventing 'works on my machine' issues and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Poetry if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for applications with many dependencies, team collaborations to ensure consistency, and modern python development following pep 517/518 standards over what Pipenv offers.
