Description

Issue Kind

Brand new capability

Description

PEP 751 was recently approved. It introduces a specification for Python lock files. It would be great if the entire Python community were to support it.

Impact

This would allow users of Poetry to use Poetry with repos that use uv, and users of uv to use uv with repos that use Poetry. A huge win in interoperability.

Workarounds

None.

Start by reading PEP 751 and the linked explanation of the pylock.toml specification. Define what Poetry must support for interoperability with uv, and consider the work complete when Poetry can use repositories following the standard and the interoperability goal is met.
