Poetry: Does poetry support a src/ layout?

[Tinche]

Hi,

I am considering poetry for a new project at work. Does it support having the project files in a src/ subdirectory? How do I tell it where to look for my project files?

Cheers!

Currently no, unfortunately. However, this is planned and might make it in the next feature release.

I'll keep you posted.

[Tinche]

Thanks! Poetry looks very promising!

[sdispater]

It is now implemented in the develop branch (0bff3b1) and will be available in the next 0.9.0 release.

[sdispater]

Release 0.9.0 is out!

[Tinche]

Nice, thanks!

Quick question - does it _just_ work? I was looking for info about this before I actually start converting my packages. At the moment I do something like this:

packages=find_packages(where='src'),
package_dir={'': 'src'},

Will Poetry just recognize that and do it for me? That would be cool : )
And if so, I think a mention in the README (docs?) would be helpful. I'd be happy to help.

You can check https://github.com/sdispater/poetry/issues/92#issuecomment-387092703 to see the src/ layout that is supported.

Please add documentations for this to the following:

https://python-poetry.org/docs/libraries/
~https://python-poetry.org/docs/pyproject/~

Ahh this has been added although the syntax is confusing and undocumented:

packages = [
    { include = "my_package", from = "lib" },
]

Is from = "lib"? the /path/to/src or is include = "my_package"

@ketozhang I just found the documentation: https://python-poetry.org/docs/cli/#new (see last two paragraphs).
I didn't have to change packages for my setup to work.
