Package Management#

There are several package management systems available, but it is desirable to unify them into one system in order to avoid difficulties in management. I use poetry for unification.

  • pip

    • Package management tool included in Python

    • It will be shared throughout the machine.

  • poetry

    • Provides virtual environment and package management

    • Package management with pyproject.toml

    • Compliant with PEP
