Poetry 0.7.0 is out

Published on April 4, 2018 in Releases with tags 0.X

This version brings some improvements and a bunch of bugfixes.

New Features #

Support for Python 3.4+ #

Previously, Poetry supported Python 3.6+ but after some consideration it was decided that it would support all Python 3 versions currently by the Python core team (see https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches).

So now, Poetry supports Python 3.4+.

New standalone installer #

Poetry now provides a custom installer that will install poetry isolated from the rest of your system by vendorizing its dependencies. This is the recommended way of installing poetry.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

Alternatively, you can download the get-poetry.py file and execute it separately.

If you want to install prerelease versions, you can do so by passing --preview to get-poetry.py:

python get-poetry.py --preview

Similarly, if you want to install a specific version, you can use --version:

python get-poetry.py --version 0.7.0

New version command #

The version has been added which allows you to bump automatically the version of the project and write the new version back to pyproject.toml

The new version should ideally be a valid semver string or a valid bump rule: patch, minor, major, prepatch, preminor, premajor, prerelease.

New script command #

The script command executes one of the scripts defined in pyproject.toml.

So, if you have a script defined like this:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
my-script = "my_module:main"

You can execute it like so:

poetry script my-script

Support for trove classifiers #

The tool.poetry section of the pyproject.toml file now accepts a classifiers property which allows you to specify trove classifiers.

classifiers = [
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Build Tools",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules"
]

Note that Python classifiers are still automatically added for you and are determined by your python requirement.

The license property will also set the License classifer automatically.
