How can I include all packages from src automatically ?

[aahnik]

I am currently doing this: (using the src layout. and my src directory has multiple packages)

# pyproject.toml
name = "custom-learn-p"
packages = [
    {include = "another_p",from="src"},
    {include = "custom_learn_p",from="src"}
            ]

is there a way to automatically include all the packages inside src, except the excluded ones obviously?

Like, below is the setup.py equivalent.

# setup.py
setup(
    [...]
    packages=find_packages(where="src"),
    package_dir={"": "src"},
)

I am planning to use the src layout after reading this: https://hynek.me/articles/testing-packaging/ by @hynek

I would love to know more about effectively using the src layout with poetry.

If you have some experience with packaging in this layout, with poetry please tell me (or link) some tips and pitfalls.

Thanks a lot for your time.

AFAIK there is no equivalent to find_packages in poetry. You either have to name the packages like the project and put them into the root folder or src folder. Than poetry can autodetect than. Or add them explicit in the pyproject.toml ("Explicit is better than implicit").

Question: Why do you want multiple packages within one project? While this is possible, the usage is a bit surprisingly for the end-user. ("I installed package_a but have to use import package_b?". I would suggest to have only one main package and put the other packages as subpackages into it. So all packages share the same namespace (package.subpackage_a, package.subpackage_b, ...). Or if the content of these packages are independent enough, just put each into a new project.

Poetry does not autodetect all packages in src folder.

It detects only one with the same name as name defined in pyproject.toml

Did I say something different? 🤔
