#build backends that can’t work without a certain frontend

I might have said it wrong. In theory you could use it, but you would have the [tool.poetry]-based metadata and to handle that, you either need Poetry CLI or manage it by hand.

Ah, well, that sounds much easier than “pretty much impossible” haha!
If one would be required to maintain a lockfile by hand, I’d call that “pretty much impossible”!

well, without poetry cli that would be the case

“using poetry-core without poetry” for me means to use Hatch or PDM or plain pip as a frontend. And they support no/different lockfiles, so they’d just call into poetry-core to get the abstract dependencies and resolve stuff themselves, right?

yeah, as long as users provide [tool.poetry] with the right package metadata
