Poetry: Dependency rooted in a subfolder of a GIT repository

Feature request

Currently, as far as I can figure, it is impossible to use a GIT repository as a dependency source where the setup.py or pyproject.toml file is not in the root directory but in some sub-folder of the repository.

E.g. GIT repo structure:

• GIT root
  
  
  
  • pythonmodule
  
  
  • setup.py / pyproject.toml
  
  
  • module1.py
  
  
  • module2.py
  
  
  • javamodule
  
  
  • pom.xml
  
  
  • cmodule
  
  
  • Makefile
  
  

In this example I would like to be able to point poetry to the pythonmodule directory inside this repo, for example using poetry add mydep --git https://github.com/foo/bar.git --path path/to/mydep. I don't think this can be accomplished via a separate repository definition, however, the documentation is a bit scarce on that topic.

Same here, i'm able to install a git dependency using pip with its VCS support

pip install "git+https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib.git@bb2a1d1#egg=hnswlib&subdirectory=python_bindings"

It would be nice if we can do it using poetry add.

I would love to switch to Poetry and it looks like this is the only thing preventing me. Very excited to see this feature is in progress!

Ready for testing :)

@finswimmer Thank you for your work on this! Is there any way I can help with getting your PRs ready for review?

Was this functionality implemented? My team relies on poetry and we just started breaking some of our code up into a separate git repo - we would need this to continue to use poetry

As far as I can tell, it has been implemented, but not merged nor released. This still-in-progress implementation is here: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/1822.

[finswimmer]

It isn't fully implemented until now. A lot has changed since I wrote #1822. This PR is now splitted in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry-core/pull/9 and https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/2242 But there is still a lot to do. I cannot tell when this will be ready.

We are also looking into breaking out shared modules into a separate repo, and it would be awesome to be able to keep them all in one repository and reference them by sub-directories.
