    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Poetry helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of Python projects, ensuring you have the right stack everywhere.

    Poetry replaces setup.py, requirements.txt, setup.cfg, MANIFEST.in and Pipfile with a simple pyproject.toml based project format.

    Poetry supports multiple installation methods, including a simple script found at install.python-poetry.org. For full installation instructions, including advanced usage of the script, alternate install methods, and CI best practices, see the full installation documentation.

    Documentation for the current version of Poetry (as well as the development branch and recently out of support versions) is available from the official website.
