FYI, I'm doing this @ https://github.com/gi0baro/poetry-bin I'm not sure how much the community and maintainers are interested into this. Technically speaking, I made some patches even on poetry and poetry-core dependencies, then even if community express its interest, it would probably require a new battery of tests to validate accurately also the patches. |
1d8eee0 884d475 Poetry has a new install script, install-poetry.py, which alters the requirements for adding Poetry to `$PATH`. `$HOME/.local/bin` was already on `$PATH` for pipx, so it seemed like a good option. Commits 1d8eee0 and 884d475 updated `.zshrc` and `script/strap-after-setup` for install-poetry.py and `POETRY_HOME=$HOME/.local`. This made sense initially, because Poetry installs its binaries into `$POETRY_HOME/bin`, and because Poetry doesn't have a `$POETRY_BIN_DIR` configuration variable like pipx does (`$PIPX_BIN_DIR`). Unfortunately, `POETRY_HOME=$HOME/.local` ended up being problematic, because Poetry takes over `$POETRY_HOME`, and doesn't consider other applications installed there. For example, if the get-poetry.py or install-poetry.py scripts were used to install Poetry, they can also be used to uninstall Poetry. Uninstalling with `python install-poetry.py --uninstall` or `python get-poetry.py --uninstall` deletes the entire `$POETRY_HOME` directory, which means it deletes `$HOME/.local`, causing problems for other applications that use `$HOME/.local` (python-poetry/poetry#4625). There have been many other issues with the Poetry custom install scripts get-poetry.py and install-poetry.py (br3ndonland/inboard#36), so other installation methods are be welcome. Poetry is now available through Homebrew, but Homebrew installation is not supported by the Poetry maintainers. Homebrew installation also requires its own custom install script, which creates its own issues. python-poetry/poetry#941 python-poetry/poetry#1765 Homebrew/homebrew-core#48883 Homebrew/homebrew-core#86776 pipx (https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) can also be used to install Poetry. The pipx installation method is suggested in the Poetry docs and GitHub, and pipx is already in use in this repo. python-poetry/poetry#677 python-poetry/poetry#3360 This commit will remove `export POETRY_HOME=$HOME/.local` from `.zshrc`, and will install Poetry with pipx.

The Poetry team decided against maintaining any package format other than Python wheels. Providing binaries for multiple OS/distros would require a lot of time put into maintaining such packages and we are stretched thin as it is. |

For those interested reaching this, the poetry-bin project is all about this and maintained. |

I have also build standalone version for windows and linux (on musl toolset) Its working without any patches https://github.com/hemnstill/StandaloneTools/releases?q=poetry |

Feature Request
Especially for Windows, installing Python is not as immediate as for Linux.
Thus I wonder whether it would make sense to package poetry in an executable and also add a working Python runtime, so that you can use poetry on a fresh system.
Bonus points for statically compiling a libc.
