Description

https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation says to install poetry either by typing:

pipx install poetry

or by following the instruction on this github repository to type:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

Perhaps "pipx install poetry" eventually finds instructions to run that curl command, but that isn't state either here or there. And presumably if "pipx install poetry" works, so should "pip install poetry", which is a lot easier than using curl.

Please update the README and/or python-poetry.org to say whether "pip install poetry" will do the same thing as this curl command; and if not, how we should decide which method to use.

Research direction

Start by comparing the installation guidance at python-poetry.org/docs/#installation with the repository README and the install script's documented methods. Determine whether pip install poetry is equivalent to the curl command and document when each method should be used in the appropriate location. Done means the guidance is consistent and answers how users should choose an installation method.
