Poetry = Python packaging and dependency management
Quick install
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
$ source $HOME/.poetry/env
$ poetry completions bash | sudo dd of=/etc/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion
Explained
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
This will add poetry to the PATH variable, in $HOME/.profile
But .profile is not sourced when opening a new terminal. We need to re-login to the GUI. For the moment:
$ source $HOME/.poetry/env
The following should configure bash completion:
$ poetry completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion
It doesn't just work, because the current user does not have write acces to /etc. One possibility would be to run everything in a new shell with sudo:
$ sudo sh -c 'poetry completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion'
This doesn't work either, because the new shell does not have the PATH configured yet. So we need to run poetry in the current shell and do only the redirection with sudo:
$ poetry completions bash | sudo dd of=/etc/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion
