**A batteries included task runner that works well with [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/).**

**[📖 Read the documentation 📖](https://poethepoet.natn.io/)**


## Features

- ✅ Straight forward [declaration of project tasks in your pyproject.toml](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/index.html)

- ✅ Tasks are run in poetry's virtualenv ([or another env](https://poethepoet.natn.io/index.html#usage-without-poetry) you specify)

- ✅ [Shell completion of task names](https://poethepoet.natn.io/installation.html#shell-completion) (and global options too for zsh)

- ✅ The poe CLI can be used standalone, or as a [plugin for poetry](https://poethepoet.natn.io/poetry_plugin.html)

- ✅ Tasks can be [commands](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/task_types/cmd.html), [shell scripts](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/task_types/shell.html), [python expressions](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/task_types/expr.html), or references to [python functions](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/task_types/script.html)

- ✅ Concise commands with extra arguments passed to the task `poe [options] task [task_args]`

- ✅ Easily [define CLI arguments](https://poethepoet.natn.io/guides/args_guide.html) for your tasks

- ✅ Tasks can specify and [reference environment variables](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/task_types/cmd.html#ref-env-vars), even without a shell

- ✅ Tasks are [self documenting](https://poethepoet.natn.io/guides/help_guide.html), with optional help messages (just run `poe` with no arguments)

- ✅ Tasks can be composed into [sequences](https://poethepoet.natn.io/guides/composition_guide.html#composing-tasks-into-sequences) or [DAGs](https://poethepoet.natn.io/guides/composition_guide.html#composing-tasks-into-graphs)

- ✅ Works with [`.env` files](https://poethepoet.natn.io/tasks/options.html#loading-environment-variables-from-an-env-file)

- ✅ Can be [used as a library](https://poethepoet.natn.io/guides/library_guide.html) to embed in other tools

## Quick start

1. Install the Poe the Poet via [pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) or [another method](https://poethepoet.natn.io/installation.html).

```sh
pipx install poethepoet
```

2. Define some tasks in your **pyproject.toml**

```toml
[tool.poe.tasks]
test = "pytest --cov=my_app" # a simple command task
serve.script = "my_app.service:run(debug=True)" # python script based task
tunnel.shell = "ssh -N -L 0.0.0.0:8080:$PROD:8080 $PROD &" # (posix) shell based task
```

3. Run your tasks via the CLI

```sh
$ poe test -v tests/unit # extra CLI arguments are appended to the underlying command
Poe => pytest --cov=my_app
...
```

If you're using poetry, then poe will automatically use CLI tools and libraries from your poetry managed virtualenv without you having to run `poetry run` or `poetry shell`

Poe can also be [used without poetry](https://poethepoet.natn.io/index.html#usage-without-poetry).
