Poet Plugin

A Poetry plugin to enable exclusivity between groups.
Poet stands for Poetry Exclusivity Toggle (or some other excuse, I did not want a verbose package name and poet seemed short and sweet since this plugin changes the internal poetry package during runtime).

Installation

In a clean project

When starting with a clean pyproject.toml, before any such cross-group non-exclusive dependencies are defined, simply install with poetry add poet-plugin or poetry self add poet-plugin.

In a cross-dependency project

In cases where the pyproject.toml already has a complicated structure that would cause the poetry CLI to fail, such as CICD pipelines, install via pip first:

poetry shell
pip install poet-plugin

Usage

When running poetry install, the various options (--only, --without) are parsed to ensure the dependency resolver only considers what needs to be considered.
This allows a non-mutually exclusive group definition, so that e.g. the dev group can refer to some local path, whereas a prod group refers to git URI.

Examples

Considering the following pyproject.toml, depicting a mono-repository:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = ">=3.8,<3.12"
poetry = "^1.2.0"

[tool.poetry.group.prod.dependencies]
foo = {git = "https://github.com/bar/foo", subdirectory = "src/libs/foo"}

[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]
foo = {path = "../../libs/foo", develop = true}
