FAQ Why is the dependency resolution process slow? While the dependency resolver at the heart of Poetry is highly optimized and should be fast enough for most cases, with certain sets of dependencies it can take time to find a valid solution. This is due to the fact that not all libraries on PyPI have properly declared their metadata and, as such, they are not available via the PyPI JSON API.

Commands You’ve already learned how to use the command-line interface to do some things. This chapter documents all the available commands. To get help from the command-line, simply call poetry to see the complete list of commands, then --help combined with any of those can give you more information. Global options --verbose (-v|vv|vvv): Increase the verbosity of messages: “-v” for normal output, “-vv” for more verbose output and “-vvv” for debug.

Configuration Poetry can be configured via the config command (see more about its usage here) or directly in the config.toml file that will be automatically created when you first run that command. This file can typically be found in one of the following directories: macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/pypoetry Windows: %APPDATA%\pypoetry For Unix, we follow the XDG spec and support $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. That means, by default ~/.config/pypoetry. Local configuration Poetry also provides the ability to have settings that are specific to a project by passing the --local option to the config command.

Managing environments Poetry makes project environment isolation one of its core features. What this means is that it will always work isolated from your global Python installation. To achieve this, it will first check if it’s currently running inside a virtual environment. If it is, it will use it directly without creating a new one. But if it’s not, it will use one that it has already created or create a brand new one for you.

Dependency specification Dependencies for a project can be specified in various forms, which depend on the type of the dependency and on the optional constraints that might be needed for it to be installed. Version constraints Caret requirements Caret requirements allow SemVer compatible updates to a specified version. An update is allowed if the new version number does not modify the left-most non-zero digit in the major, minor, patch grouping. For instance, if we previously ran poetry add requests@^2.

Managing dependencies Dependency groups Poetry provides a way to organize your dependencies by groups. For instance, you might have dependencies that are only needed to test your project or to build the documentation. To declare a new dependency group, use a tool.poetry.group.<group> section where <group> is the name of your dependency group (for instance, test): [tool.poetry.group.test] # This part can be left out [tool.poetry.group.test.dependencies] pytest = "^6.0.0" pytest-mock = "*" Note All dependencies must be compatible with each other across groups since they will be resolved regardless of whether they are required for installation or not (see Installing group dependencies).

Contributing to Poetry First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to Poetry on GitHub. These are mostly guidelines, not rules. Use your best judgement, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request. How to contribute Reporting bugs This section guides you through submitting a bug report for Poetry. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your report, reproduce the behavior, and find related reports.
