Poetry had already solved that.

What's the poetry equivalent of this?

  uv run --with boto3 python

The claim was:

and not specific, niche features.

I don't know of such a command in Poetry, but it could still be solved with dev groups or running Python in the virtual environment and installing the package.

That command is an environment command. It runs Python in a temporary environment with boto3 installed - I use that trick all the time.

It was very slow compared to uv

bmitc · 2026-03-20T03:54:53 1773978893

Yes, but it still solves dependencies and environments.

"Solves one problem by introducing another, possibly worse problem"

And you wonder why people didn't adopt it.
