Consider Using `poetry`. #20

Closed Jordan-Dennis closed 1 year ago

Jordan-Dennis commented 1 year ago

Hi all, poetry is like cargo for python. It is pip on steroids with better dependancy managment and a nice publishing API. The downside is that if someone wants to download the package for development (not from PyPi) then they have to install poetry which is non-trivial. It is also slightly overkill for a package this small, but it might be worth it for the experience. Regards Jordan.

So I have downloaded poetry and am using it alongside conda. It has a nice interface and colorfull installation. Like cargo though it takes a very long time and I am not so fussed about that. Hopefully, once the first install is done and the environment becomes fixed it is much faster to install the package.

An interesting feature of poetry is that it has to be a dependancy to be installed with poetry. This is very similar to cargo but it is something that I am in mixed minds about when it comes to tooling like black (#14). I can always just install these packages using pip but for now I will play along with poetry while I am learning.

I like poetry and am giving it the green light for use here.

I am impressed with black although I have not yet tried it with flake8. I am closing this issue in the meantime.
