Description
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
- I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.
Feature Request
I want to be able to:
> version=$(poetry show playwright --version)
Currently I have to do something like:
> version=$(poetry show playwright | grep -P "Version\s*:" | grep -oP '[^ ]*$')
Why on earth is --version a global option?
> poetry show playwright --version
Poetry version 1.1.12
It only ever makes sense to run it on it's own poetry --version, never with other arguments/sub commands:
> poetry add pendulum --dev --version
Poetry version 1.1.12
😕

Research direction
Start by tracing the poetry show command and how the global --version option is handled. Verify the requested behavior with poetry show playwright --version and poetry --version; done means the former outputs the package version for scripts while the latter still reports Poetry's version.
