I never tried Poetry because of this somewhat worrying part of installation instructions: "The installer installs the poetry tool to Poetry's bin directory ... located at $HOME/.poetry/bin ...This directory will be in your $PATH environment variable".
The directory will be in my PATH? That makes me wonder what else it might take the liberty to reconfigure on my system.
But, reading the installer script, it seems like it at least prompts you for confirmation first, so perhaps I'll try it.
Nice, thank you! Will definitely check out poetry now - have been avoiding it for reasons of inertia so far. :)
Psyscaffold has a --pyproject option (or at least an add-on linked in the readme, don't remember)
