About:
Poetry is a modern Python dependency management and packaging tool that simplifies the process of declaring, installing, and publishing project libraries. It replaces multiple tools like pip, virtualenv, and setuptools with a single unified interface. By using a pyproject.toml file, it ensures reproducible builds and handles dependency resolution intelligently.

Key Features:

Dependency management with deterministic lock files
Integrated virtual environment handling
Simplified packaging and publishing to PyPI
PEP 508 and PEP 621 standards compliance

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies for Python applications and libraries
Creating and publishing packages to the Python Package Index

Alternatives:

pip-tools – Lower-level dependency resolver, requires separate virtualenv management
Pipenv – Similar scope but often considered slower and less deterministic than Poetry
