poetry-plugin-export
Poetry plugin to export the dependencies to various formats
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is a well-maintained, actively developed plugin with no security vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you use Poetry and need to export dependencies to pip-compatible formats for CI/CD, deployment, or interoperability with non-Poetry tools. The plugin is production-ready for requirements.txt and constraints.txt; verify your use case if you need pylock.toml.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Poetry 2.0+ or a compatible Poetry installation; Python 3.10 or newer.
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with only three runtime dependencies (poetry, poetry-core, tomlkit).
- Actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
poetry-plugin-export is a Poetry plugin that converts a locked dependency tree into formats compatible with pip and other package managers. It reads Poetry's lock file and exports dependencies as requirements.txt, constraints.txt, or pylock.toml, allowing you to use Poetry's dependency resolution outside the Poetry ecosystem. The plugin is designed to eventually replace Poetry's built-in export command.
The package depends on poetry, poetry-core, and tomlkit to parse and manipulate lock metadata. It supports filtering by dependency groups (main, dev, optional), including extras, and optionally excluding hashes. When exporting to requirements.txt, the documentation emphasizes installing with pip's --no-deps flag since Poetry has already resolved all transitive dependencies.
Use it for
- Export a Poetry project's locked dependencies to requirements.txt for deployment in CI/CD pipelines or Docker containers.
- Generate constraints.txt to pin exact versions for reproducible builds across teams.
- Convert Poetry lock files to pip-compatible formats for projects that cannot use Poetry directly.
- Filter and export only specific dependency groups (e.g., production without dev dependencies).
- Integrate Poetry-managed projects with tools that consume pip requirements files.
