Poetry requires pip in the way that `go mod` requires `go get`, i.e. Poetry allows one to operate at a higher level of abstraction, where it's harder to make mistakes and generally easier to manage your dependency tree.
Sure, this is true for every abstraction: some are more air-tight or leaky than others, but IME Poetry and go mod are fairly solid.
I haven’t had to use pip in a long time. Just like I haven’t had to use `go get` in a while.
I mean it’s not the most rock solid abstraction, but introducing sane package management in an OSS environment with a decade plus of history is very hard. Against that background, they are doing pretty well, IMO.
