How does it compare to Poetry?

https://python-poetry.org/




From what I gather, the focus of PyOxidizer is on enabling you to create executable Python binaries which embed a Python interpreter rather than providing Python packaging and dependency management.


Sounds like PyInstaller is the closer comparison

These two are totally different tools, not even comparable. With Poetry, you handle dependencies, just like with npm, cargo or pip itself. PyOxidizer can build a standalone binary which doesn't need an installed Python interpreter, so you need both.


thx, I misunderstood what it does
