Clarify about poetry #239

Closed robkam closed 4 months ago

elsiehupp commented 4 months ago

I vaguely remembered the Poetry installation being somewhat weird, so I checked the documentation, and it says to use pipx instead of pip:

pipx install poetry

pipx appears to have its own setup process (with different instructions depending platform). (That is, pipx is apparently not installed by default with Python.)

I think what I was remembering was that previously Poetry used curl for installation, but pipx appears to abstract away some of the complexity.

robkam commented 4 months ago

pipx installs and runs Python applications in isolated environments. As yet we've not yet done anything like that with MediaWiki Dump Generator.

Perhaps including instructions for installing poetry is getting out of scope?
