I've had a million and one issues with Poetry recently.

I got it fully installed and working yesterday, but after a restart of my machine I'm back to having issues with it ;(

Is there anyway to have Poetry consistently recognised in my Terminal, even after reboot?

System Specs:

Windows 10,
Visual Studio Code,
Bash - WSL Ubuntu CLI,
Python 3.8.

Terminal:

me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/workers-python/workers/data_simulator/src$ poetry run python3 cli.py
poetry: command not found
me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/workers-python/workers/data_simulator/src$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3
Retrieving Poetry metadata

This installer is deprecated. Poetry versions installed using this script will not be able to use 'self update' command to upgrade to 1.2.0a1 or later.
Latest version already installed.
me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/workers-python/workers/data_simulator/src$ poetry run python3 cli.py
poetry: command not found
me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/workers-python/workers/data_simulator/src$

Please let me know if there is anything else I can add to post to help further clarify.

When I run this, after shutdown of bash Terminal:

export PATH="$HOME/.poetry/bin:$PATH"

poetry command is then recognised.

However, this isn't enough alone; as every time I shutdown the terminal I need to run the export.

Possibly needs to be saved in a file.

Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout

I am trying to install a library from the source that makes use of Poetry, but I get this error error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['tulips', 'fixtures'].

I've just updated to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and my libs using OpenSSL just stopped working. Looks like Ubuntu switched to the version 3.0 of OpenSSL.

Does it make sense to use Conda + Poetry?

Does it make sense to use Conda + Poetry for a Machine Learning project? Allow me to share my (novice) understanding and please correct or enlighten me: As far as I understand, Conda and Poetry have different purposes but are largely redundant: Conda is primarily a environment manager (in fact not necessarily Python), but it can also mana

How to install a package using pip in editable mode with pyproject.toml?

When a project is specified only via pyproject.toml (i.e. no setup.{py,cfg} files), how can it be installed in editable mode via pip (i.e. python -m pip install -e . )? I tried both setuptools and poetry for the build system, but neither worked: [build-system] requires = ["setuptools", "wheel"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [bui
