About vendor dependencies

Sometimes it is necessary to have a dependency with its source by a hand. Maybe you develop it or just fix some bugs or want to add new feature, anyway you need that its source code dto be placed with your source

1) Folder for your dependencies

It cannot be placed in .venv anymore. All dependencies' source code usually place in vendor folder, so, firstly, you need to create it

2) Add git submodule

Terminal

git add submodule {repository url} vendor/{repo name}

Submodule is correctly handled by Git when you do commit. It is recognized as another repository, not just an ordinary folder. It is still a Git repository that can be pulled, for example.

Hint

Recommend you add such dependencies from your own fork of the original repository

3) Add it with poetry

Terminal

poetry add vendor/{name}

or another way as described in how to add a dependency

And you see something like this

pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
my-package = {path = "../my/path"}

Tip

If you want to edit the source code, you should add develop = true

pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
my-package = {path = "../my/path", develop = true}
