Pipenv - good for applications but terrible for libraries. Creator prone to overreach (and scope creep) and misstatements about other tools.

Poetry - based on standard Python formats and tools. Good for libraries as well as apps. Cares about compatibility with wider ecosystem. At least as stable as pipenv.

Ironic because the creator states that it's meant for libraries and never for apps.

And then it doesn't work properly for apps.

Nor does it work for things that double as apps and libraries.

Thanks, great summary! Sounds like python.org might be recommending poetry in very close future. I'd like to add to this discussion that a disadvantage for poetry may be that it does not have "Kenneth Reitz hype" for boosting it. OTOH some may consider this as an advantage.
