Setting up a new Python virtual environment with Poetry and PyEnv

Today I had to set up a small python project from scratch rather than continuing from a pre-existing project. Since I've only had to deal with projects already containing a pyproject.toml this was a new experience for me. Here's how I did it

Create the environment, add the dependencies and jump into the shell

Note

Prerequisites: PyEnv and Poetry

$ cd <target_dir>
$ poetry init  # follow on the on screen instructions
$ poetry shell # spawn environment shell

Figured this one out myself 🥳
