use poetry

[teucer]

I think it would be helpful to use poetry for dependency management and package building process.

I've seen Poetry in other projects, but I'm not very aware of its advantages over what we already have. What would be different/better with Poetry? (asking from an ignorant perspective, I'm not familiar with it)

This link explains the use.

In a nutshell: poetryhelps to specify, install, and resolve external packages. It also supports to deploy to pypi. No need to have setup or requirements files.

Please let me know if this is something that you would like to do: I can send a PR...

I prefer to keep the project as it is in terms of tools for dependency management, package building, etc.

I understand Poetry is helpful. But in our case everything we need is already working so I don't think it is a good time to change it. It implies some work and I don't see the benefits now.

[teucer]

Point taken. I still think poetry would open the door for an easier setup for development purposes, hence more contributors. It is as easy as "poetry install".

[tomicapretto]

I understand. Maybe once I use poetry in another project and understand the benefits we can revisit this issue here.

Even though I'm a poetry fan, the setup is pretty straight forward.

pyenv local 3.9
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .
