>I’ve seen so many people get confused by doing pip install poetry in way too many places resulting in a very confusing work environment by having different poetry version and setup depending on which directory you’re in / poetry shell you’ve loaded.

This is not actually an error that would have occurred to me to make - since one finds out about Poetry from its webpage, which recommends all sorts of custom installation procedures instead.

That's actually a big part of why I gave up on Poetry: the officially blessed install procedure changed a few times, and it became difficult to uninstall because things installed the old way would expect to be uninstalled the old way as well, but that way was already deprecated. Well, I don't remember the exact details, but it was generally that sort of experience.

(Actually, you gave me some insight for something I should do in the installer I'm designing....)

>Working with aws means you’re automating things, ci/cd etc. Many people use python they’ve installed locally for months or years without upgrading.

Yeah. The download count for boto3 is really absurd, though - something like twice a year per person on Earth (https://pypistats.org/top). I guess that has a fair bit to do with them apparently putting out a patch release every business day.
