I don't know how to test or document this here, but i've done so at https://gist.github.com/CTimmerman/ccf884f8c8dcc284588f1811ed99be6c and that worked fine.

I'm not sure how to feel about this overall -- it adds another layer of complexity and potential frustration (see: transient PyPI connection issues/poisoned caches).

If this was better abstracted/less brittle-looking, and had robust tests, I think it might have a shot. The present design just seems like another layer of potential network breakage, so I'm going to close this for now but remain open to a revised design.

Whoa, excuse me for not having fixed this last Sunday. It's intentionally simple but maybe i can find and adapt an existing poetry test next week.

Then again, i'll just use my own resume script or wget and pip as those are already available, without adding poetry as additional complexity.

I don't mean to try to turn you off contributing at all -- the PR was merely a year old with merge conflicts and unlikely to make it in the present state. If you feel you can make the change robust and testable, please do feel free to submit the change.
