Important notice

I am not currently able to maintain this project. I will be happy for anyone to fork it and take over (It is not a big project, so it doesn’t require too much time). If you are interested, please contact me.

Poetry.el

Poetry in Emacs.

From Poetry documentation: “Poetry is a tool for dependency management and packaging in Python. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.”

Poetry.el is a wrapper around Poetry, offering a simple an intuitive interface in Emacs.

Installation

From Melpa

Poetry.el is available on Melpa, the most straightforward way of installing it is to use use-package:

(use-package poetry
 :ensure t)

Manually

Dependencies
Poetry.el needs transient and pyvenv to be installed. These packages are both available on MELPA.

Clone the poetry.el repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/galaunay/poetry.el /path/to/poetry.el

Add the following lines to .emacs.el (or equivalent):

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/poetry.el")
(require 'poetry)

Usage

Poetry.el uses transient to provide a magit-like interface. The entry point is simply:

M-x poetry

The interface should then be pretty much self-explanatory for poetry users:

For users not familiar with how Poetry works, the documentation is a great place to start.

Tracking Poetry virtualenv

Poetry.el also provides a global minor mode that automatically activate the correct virtualenv when visiting Poetry project files. You can activate this feature with:

M-x poetry-tracking-mode

By default, poetry.el checks if the virtualenv needs to be updated after every command. It has the advantage of always providing the right virtualenv, but can be annoyingly slow. You can change the strategy poetry.el uses through the poetry-tracking-strategy.
