Repositories Poetry supports the use of PyPI and private repositories for discovery of packages as well as for publishing your projects. By default, Poetry is configured to use the PyPI repository, for package installation and publishing. So, when you add dependencies to your project, Poetry will assume they are available on PyPI. This represents most cases and will likely be enough for most users. Private Repository Example Installing from private package sources By default, Poetry discovers and installs packages from PyPI.

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.
