Poetry looks nice - that dev has authored some other really nice looking libs.

After skimming the docs and tinkering with poetry a bit, I'm not sure what my workflow with it would be for containerized python apps, though - where you generally don't want virtual environments at all. Pipenv handles that case pretty well.

I might reach for it though if I were developing open-source libraries that would be distributed on pypi

You don't need to but there's also no harm in creating a virtualenv in a container.
