Poetry: tox support

Created on 16 Jun 2018 · 8Comments · Source: python-poetry/poetry

Hi, thanks for this awesome package. It look really promising.

Here's my problem: I am using tox and pyproject.toml for my library.
When trying to use them together that's what happens:

» tox
ERROR: No setup.py file found. The expected location is:
  /Users/sobolev/Documents/github/mimesis-factory/setup.py
You can
  1. Create one:
     https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/#setup-py
  2. Configure tox to avoid running sdist:
     http://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example/general.html#avoiding-expensive-sdist

What is the recommended solution for this workflow?
The only thing that I do not want to do is returning to the old setup.py.

For now, you can use poetry with tox by using something similar to what I did in pendulum: https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum/blob/master/tox.ini

Hi, I'm in the same situation here. It seems like this is a tox issue, which depends on a pip issue.

I really hope that all this awesome tools implements PEP-517 and PEP-518 soon.

Thanks a heap I was just wondering how tox would work without any setup.py. Perfect timing!

If we'd think about setup.py as some kind of a lock file which you never generate by hand, maybe an option for poetry lock which generates setup.py might be helpful. Of course, it doesn't work for those who want to avoid storing setup.py in their repo. Just brainstorming here.
