Poe the Poet is a task runner for Python projects that lets you declare tasks in pyproject.toml and run them via a standalone CLI or as a poetry plugin, executing in your project's virtualenv. It supports commands, shell scripts, Python expressions, task composition (sequences, parallel, DAGs), CLI arguments, and env vars.
Use cases
- run project tasks defined in pyproject.toml
- replace make/tox with a python task runner
- run scripts inside poetry or uv virtualenv
- define named CLI arguments for project tasks
- compose tasks into sequences or parallel graphs
- use a task runner as a poetry plugin
When to choose
- you use poetry or uv and want tasks tied to the project virtualenv
- you want self-documenting tasks with shell completion
- you need task composition like sequences, parallel runs, or DAGs
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose build system with dependency tracking like make
- your project is not Python-based or doesn't use pyproject.toml
