Question

How do I get get-poetry.py to install the newest version of poetry from git? i.e. to install something even newer than the newest pre-release release on GH?

[pmav99]

What's wrong with?

git clone ...
cd poetry
python setup.py

[cancan101]

No setup.py for one.

[pmav99]

Ohhh...
You are right of course... the power of habit...
Anyway, I am not sure if pip supports this yet. A workaround could be to install a (pre-)released poetry version and then use it to create a newer poetry wheel using poetry build. Not really elegant, but...

[cancan101]

Once I have the wheel (which I built along the lines outlined), how do I get get-poetry.py to install that wheel such that the install doesn't conflict with the package deps. (i.e. I can't just run pip install on the wheel).

[pmav99]

You will use pip to install the wheel.

But all this feels a bit strange. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Help in development? Try a new feature?

[cancan101]

I am looking to use: #757.

[cancan101]

I am not specifically trying to run get-poetry.py against git. What I am trying to do is:

1. Use features that have been added to poetry since the last release (specifically Install: option to skip current project package #757)
2. Not pollute my virtualenv with the deps of poetry. get-poetry.py handles this, but I am open to other solutions.

For others who find this - I'm currently using the workaround described by @pmav99

A workaround could be to install a (pre-)released poetry version and then use it to create a newer poetry wheel using poetry build.

#!/bin/bash

set -ex

pip install poetry
git clone --branch develop --single-branch https://github.com/sdispater/poetry
cd poetry
poetry build
pip install dist/poetry*.whl
