Cannot use the repo with poetry unless it's pulled locally.

I just have a feature request or enhancement. Can the setup.py be changed that it does not need to depend on a local file to be installed? (example of the problem): https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/blob/7c4a420da3a8fabe47ec80098a4ea6a1991272da/setup.py#L18 I can't use it with poetry unless I pull the repo locally, and I'm trying to explore the possibility of putting this repo as a dependency without needing to copy it using poetry. Here a link to the issue I was having: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/3481 specifically: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/3481#issuecomment-743800678

Hi @tyao117

The .whl files are present in lib/, so I don't see another way to install it - unless the repo is pushed to PyPI, and that is a work in progress.

hey @anusha94; thanks for responding, when is this going to be pushed to PyPI, and is there a way to reference the .whl using the github url rather than a local path?

Are you looking for something like this? https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/pull/258/files

I'm also facing this issue when using poetry (instead of pip) to manage requirements in my project

@dcedcha, until the lib packages are uploaded to pypi, poetry wouldn't be able to support this repo. An alternative is you manually clone the repo into local and have the .toml file of peotry refer to it as a local directory. Problem is, now you have to update the repo manually for any changes.
