False. Poetry implements it’s own dependency resolver. It does not use pip’s resolver. For most packages this is fine. For a couple packages it’s resolver does not work. Pytorch is one major ml library that is incompatible with poetry as poetry has a non-standard interpretation of local package version tags.

Is one issue. If you even transitively depend on pytorch poetry will break and you will need hacks to make it work or just give up.




yes, alas major exceptions like pytorch make this old xkcd still ring true today: https://xkcd.com/1987/

also, a lot of python packages don't seem to follow the idea of semvar very well. Especially when you compare it to other communities like Go.


The xkcd hover-over text sounds almost like it's describing containers:
