Configure a Poetry environment
Poetry is a tool that facilitates creating a Python virtual environment based on the project dependencies. You can declare the libraries your project depends on, and Poetry will install and update them for you.
Project dependencies are recorded in the pyproject.toml file that specifies required packages, scripts, plugins, and URLs. See the pyproject reference for more information about its structure and format.
To use Poetry in DataSpell, you need to install it on your machine and create a specific Python environment.
Install Poetry
Open a terminal window (PowerShell on Windows) and execute the following command that is specific to your operating system:
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
Verify installation in the Poetry bin directory:
Path:
$HOME/.poetry/bin
Example:
/Users/jetbrains/.poetry/bin/poetry
Path:
%USERPROFILE%\.poetry\bin
Example:
C:\Users\jetbrains\.poetry\bin\poetry.bat
Path:
$HOME/.poetry/bin
Example:
/home/jetbrains/.poetry/bin/poetry
Refer to the Poetry Installation Instructions for more details.
These directories are automatically added to the $PATH
variable, so that DataSpell can pick it when creating a Poetry virtual environment.
Create a Poetry environment
Press Ctrl+Alt+S and go to Add.
. Click and selectIn the left-hand pane of the Add Python Interpreter dialog, select Poetry Environment. The following actions depend on whether the virtual environment existed before.
If Poetry environment is selected:
Select the base Python interpreter from the list, or click and find its location in your file system.
If DataSpell has not discoreved the Poetry path, click near Poetry executable and navigate to its location. Then click OK in the explorer window to add it to the field.
If Existing environment is selected:
Expand the Interpreter list and select any of the existing Poetry environments. Alternatively, click and specify a path to it.
Click OK to complete the task.
When you configure a new Poetry environment, DataSpell adds two files to your workspace:
pyproject.toml: specifies the project requirements
poetry.lock: records changes in the projects requirements
Each time you modify the pyproject.toml file, DataSpell notifies you and offers two actions: to record the changes in the poetry.lock file or to record the changes and install the unsatisfied requirements.
