I'm not sure using pyenv + poetry + click qualifies as a minimalist setup. I have never had to use pyenv as I figured out it was more robust to install the python versions directly from python.org and create the appropriate symlinks. Then using the venv module which has been included in python since 3.3. The argparser module of python is not that bad once you are used to it.

I'm not saying the tools and libs mentioned in the article shouldn't be used, it's just that they're not mandatory for whoever wants to stay close to the bare minimum.

I would use pyenv locally so I can easily switch versions but dev and prod is a Docker container with one python version, then poetry install the virtual environment. You don’t even really need to install into a venv, since you’re already in an isolated container, but going straight for a venv is kind of a reflex for most Python devs

Once you get in the habit, using pyenv/pipenv (in my case) is incredibly quick an easy. I use it for almost everything Python related I touch, except for quick scripts of the REPL.
