Python Poetry: Where is get-poetry.py?

Question

macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Python 3.7.2

I installed python poetry just like it is in the docs:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

As far as I can tell it went well, besides $POETRY_HOME did not get set. Something like <full_path_to_poetry>/poetry --version works. Now I would like to try several things mentioned in the documentation with get-poetry.py, e.g.

python get-poetry.py --preview

It turned out I do not have get-poetry.py on my hard drive anywhere. Am I missing steps somewhere? Installing poetry with pip or creating a project does not help with the missing get-poetry.py

Answer 1

1. in https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation it's not mentioned that you need to download get-poetry.py as a separate step. In https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry it is mentioned. Thanks to martineau for the quote.

2. As of the problem of $POETRY_HOME not set, that's probably not used any more. Install adds poetry location to $PATH in ~/.bash_profile so just source it and calling poetry will work.
