Even putting aside it's approach to dependency management, Poetry has a fond place in my heart for making it so much easier to publish to PyPI.

If poetry did nothing but simply the process of publishing and updating python packages, it would still be an amazing tool.

I've read of another project for publishing to PyPI called flit. Anyone knows how they compare to each other?

Poetry tries to help you manage your whole project while flit is just for building your library (and optionally uploading; you can always use twine to do the upload). It's all-in-one versus one-job-one-tool.

Simpler PyPI publishing sounds very appealing.

I still don’t feel hungry for new dependency management solutions (requirements.txt + virtualenv works reliably for me) but I do like the idea of refactoring setup.cfg and setup.py for simpler PyPI publishing.
