## Description

# Poetry Plugin: Export

[![Poetry](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://python-poetry.org/badge/v0.json)](https://python-poetry.org/)

This package is a plugin that allows the export of locked packages to various formats.

**Note**: For now, only the `constraints.txt` and `requirements.txt` formats are available.

This plugin provides the same features as the existing `export` command of Poetry which it will eventually replace.


## Installation

On Poetry 2.0 and newer, the easiest way to add the `export` plugin is to declare it as a required Poetry plugin.

```toml
[tool.poetry.requires-plugins]
poetry-plugin-export = ">=1.8"
```

Otherwise, install the plugin via the `self add` command of Poetry.

```bash
poetry self add poetry-plugin-export
```

If you used `pipx` to install Poetry you can add the plugin via the `pipx inject` command.

```bash
pipx inject poetry poetry-plugin-export
```

Otherwise, if you used `pip` to install Poetry you can add the plugin packages via the `pip install` command.

```bash
pip install poetry-plugin-export
```


## Usage

The plugin provides an `export` command to export to the desired format.

```bash
poetry export -f requirements.txt...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Exports Poetry-locked dependencies to requirements.txt, constraints.txt, and pylock.toml formats for use with pip and other tools.

Verdict: A well-maintained, low-friction Poetry plugin for exporting locked dependencies. MIT-licensed, actively developed, zero known vulnerabilities, and top-1000 popularity. Straightforward to install and use for converting Poetry projects to pip-compatible formats.
