Several versions of poetry at the same time?

[MaximMukhametov]

I work in parallel on several projects, all projects use poetry, but everywhere there is a different version, how can I keep several versions of poetry locally at the same time?

I'd recommend using pipx to install and use multiple versions of Poetry in parallel.

$ pipx install --suffix "@1.4" poetry==1.4.2
$ pipx install --suffix "@1.3" poetry==1.3.5

$ [email protected] --version
Poetry (version 1.4.2)
$ [email protected] --version
Poetry (version 1.3.5)

But I wonder why you need several versions?

But I wonder why you need several versions?

As I said, I work in parallel on several projects, so my lock files are incompatible with poetry version in containers on which applications are deployed

Hi there, just wondering, did this work well with the poetry caches? Do the two installations manage to collaborate on the cache successfully?

I’ve seen a few related discussions — #4235, #8811, and now this one #7866.

While it’s not a core feature request, managing multiple Poetry versions becomes quite painful once you actually need to do so.

I ran into the same issue at work, so I built a small tool called poetryenv
— its usage and style are inspired by pyenv.

It lets you install, switch, and pin specific Poetry versions per project.
Hope it helps others with the same need!
