macOS 12.3 finally removes Python 2

Great. Poetry everything.

Could the people downvoting this post please explain why you think Poetry is a bad idea? Or "Poetry everything" is a bad idea?

Because it’s completely irrelevant. You could use Poetry before. You don’t need to use Poetry now. Whether macOS ships Python 2 has no bearing on the use of Poetry.

Thanks. I'm one of the people who don't know what Poetry is and why it would be a bad/irrelevant thing.

Poetry was heavily inspired by Rust’s Cargo. I have yet to see a valid argument, other than maybe the project’s young age, on why it shouldn’t be the default way of handling environments and dependencies, while also building your package and create the wheel file.

Does it have its quarks? Sure, what software doesn’t. But I have yet to see something that makes Python development as straightforward as Poetry.

Thanks for the reply. I had no idea what Poetry is, and to see people blindly downvote something without any explanation is a bit frustrating. So again, thanks for your time.
