Poetry
Adding custom operations on pip install <my_package>[<extra>] #7869

|
When the user installs my package via I have looked into the docu and code and have not seen how to do that. Because setup.py is not called any more, I don't know, where even to put a workaround, e.g. re.match sys.argv for [triggering_extra]. |

Hey @dboeckenhoff, "post install" script are discourage because they are usually unexpected and can be dangerous. So this is not supported by Poetry. Instead your package should provide a command that must be run by the user explicit after installing. fin swimmer |

Thanks. That makes sense. Interestingly, setup.py does allow such things with setuptools. Following your answer wouldn't that leave a vulnerability in all of the setuptools universe? |

If I use my_package as a dependency in another library, how would I trigger the script without cloning the source? |
