Replace Virtualenv with Poetry.

You are not still using virtualenv, are you?

Virtualenv is an old school way to manage dependencies in a Python project. They use to do well. but we have excellent alternatives to replace it now.

Poetry is the best tool I found in Python.

This relatively new tool is not a replacement but a complement to Virtualenvs.

• They help you manage development and production dependencies separately.
• Sync environments with the team
• Conveniently package and publish it to repositories (eg: PyPI)

Awesome. I was using virutalenv before. How do you feel after switching to Poetry? What do you think are the distinguishing features? Love to learn from you.

If you have using Composer in PHP or NPM in NodeJS, it has the same experience. Poetry is the tool that I have been looking for that "equivalent" to those tools.
