Consider switching to Poetry

[jaswilli]

Any interest in swapping out pipenv for poetry (https://python-poetry.org/)? Poetry is arguably a better project in a number of ways, not the least of which is it's better maintained with regular releases:

Poetry:

• Supports using a standard (PEP 518) pyproject.toml file to hold project metadata, including tool configuration (i.e., can replace setup.cfg, tox.ini, etc.).
• Understands how to build an sdist and wheel (poetry build) so you don't need to maintain a separate setup.py file.
• Understands how to publish a package to pypi (poetry publish).
• Does a better job at dependency resolution.

Aside from just working better, using pyproject.toml is a really big win for consolidating tooling and build configuration. For example, tox understands how to read the build-system (PEP 517) config and use it to build the project which lessens the number of hoops you need to jump through when trying to define tox environments to test against a range of dependency versions.

I can open a pull request showing what the conversion looks like but no worries if you'd prefer to stick with pipenv.
