Poetry | Awesome Repository

Poetry is a Python build tool, dependency manager, and project orchestrator. It provides a unified workflow for managing the full lifecycle of a project, from initial environment setup to the final package release.

The system centralizes project metadata and dependency specifications in a single configuration file, replacing legacy formats. It utilizes a deterministic dependency resolver to calculate compatible package versions and records the exact state of the environment in a lock file to ensure consistency across different machines.

The tool handles the orchestration of isolated virtual environments to prevent dependency conflicts. It also functions as a build backend to generate distributable wheels and source distributions for publishing to registries.

Features

Package Dependency Managers - Provides a comprehensive system for declaring, resolving, and installing Python package dependencies.
Python Package Managers - Serves as a dedicated manager for Python project dependencies, virtual environments, and package installations.
Dependency Resolvers - Implements a deterministic backtracking algorithm to resolve compatible package versions and create a locked dependency graph.
Lock Files - Generates lock files that record exact package versions and hashes to ensure reproducible environments across machines.
