Managing Dependencies With Python Poetry (Overview)
When your Python project relies on external packages, you need to make sure you’re using the right version of each package. After an update, a package might not work as it did before. A dependency manager like Python Poetry helps you specify, install, and resolve external packages in your projects. This way, you can be sure that you always work with the correct dependency version on every machine.
In this video course, you’ll learn how to:
- Create a new project using Poetry
- Add Poetry to an existing project
- Configure your project through
pyproject.toml - Pin your project’s dependency versions
- Install dependencies from a
poetry.lockfile - Run basic Poetry commands using the Poetry CLI
