Poetry

Poetry is a dependency management and packaging tool for Python that simplifies project setup, dependency resolution, and publishing. It provides a unified workflow for managing virtual environments, installing packages, and building distributions, replacing traditional tools like pip and setuptools with a single configuration file (pyproject.toml).

Also known as: Python Poetry, poetry-tool, poetry-py, poetry dependency manager, poetry packaging

Why learn Poetry?

Developers should use Poetry when working on Python projects that require reproducible environments, complex dependency management, or publishing to PyPI. It is particularly valuable for applications with many dependencies, team collaborations to ensure consistency, and modern Python development following PEP 517/518 standards.
