Please consider changing hardcoded poetry version #3415

Description of Issue/Question

Currently, netmiko hardcodes a specific poetry version. This makes my life as a Fedora packager somewhat harder since I need to patch it out (Fedora has a much newer poetry). Would it be possible to specify a minimum required version instead?

This is really only for Netmiko development work, can you explain why it matters (from your perspective)?

The problem on my side is its pretty annoying for the CI-CD system to break because of tooling. So I have pretty strong incentives to pin the version of these development tools.

Do you have a version that works for you?

Sorry, somehow missed the notification. This request has been implemented as part of https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/pull/3444, but just to close the loop on it: as any other package, Poetry is a moving target in Linux distributions. I cannot tell you which version we have because tomorrow a bugfix release comes, and we have a different version, and netmiko no longer builds.
