zenml VS Poetry

Currently, you can see the integrations we support here and it includes a lot of tools in your list. I also feel I agree with your categorization (it is exactly the categorization we use in our docs pretty much). Perhaps one thing missing might be feature stores but that is a minor thing in the bigger picture.

Hey everyone! At ZenML, we released today an integration that allows users to train and deploy models from pipelines in a simple way. I wanted to ask the community here whether the example we showcased makes sense in a real-world setting:

As of early March 2022 this is the new CI pipeline that we use here at ZenML and the feedback from my colleagues -- fellow engineers -- has been very positive overall. I am sure there will be tweaks, changes and refactorings in the future, but for now, this feels Zen.

ZenML is hiring for a Design Engineer.

ZenML is an extensible, open-source MLOps framework to create production-ready machine learning pipelines. Built for data scientists, it has a simple, flexible syntax, is cloud- and tool-agnostic, and has interfaces/abstractions that are catered towards ML workflows.

We’re looking for a Design Engineer with a multi-disciplinary skill-set who can take over the look and feel of the ZenML experience. ZenML is a tool designed for developers and we want to delight them from the moment they land on our web page, to after they start using it on their machines. We would like a consistent design experience across our many touchpoints (including the [landing page](https://zenml.io), the [docs](https://docs.zenml.io), the [blog](https://blog.zenml.io), the [podcast](https://podcast.zenml.io), our social media, the product itself which is a [python package](https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml) etc).

A lot of this job is about communicating complex ideas in a beautiful way. You could be a developer or a non-coding designer, full time or part-time, employee or freelance. We are not so picky about the exact nature of this role. If you feel like you are a visually creative designer, and are willing to get stuck in the details of technical topics like MLOps, we can’t wait to work with you!

The best place to see MLflow Tracking and ZenML being used together in a simple use case is our example that showcases the integration. It builds on the quickstart example, but shows how you can add in MLflow to handle the tracking. In order to enable MLflow to track artifacts inside a particular step, all you need is to decorate the step with @enable_mlflow and then to specify what you want logged within the step. Here you can see how this is employed in a model training step that uses the autolog feature I mentioned above:

You can manage dependencies in Python with the package manager pip, which comes pre-installed with Python. Pip allows you to install and uninstall Python packages, and it uses a requirements.txt file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. However, pip does not have robust dependency resolution features or isolate dependencies for different projects; this is where tools like pipenv and poetry come in. These tools create a virtual environment for each project, separating the project's dependencies from the system-wide Python environment and other projects.

Poetry provides packaging and dependency management for Python. If you haven't already, install poetry via pip:

Poetry

The Semantify repository provides an example Astro.js project. Ensure you have poetry installed, then build the project from the root of the repository:

Has anyone else been paying attention to how hilariously hard it is to package PyTorch in poetry?

Based on this comment 5 days ago[0], it's working? I'm not sure didn't dig in too far but based on that comment it seems fair to say that it's not fully Poetry's fault because torch removed hashes (which poetry needs to be effective) for a while only recently adding it back in.

Not sure where I would stand if I fully investigated it tho.

We will be running this project in Python 3.10 on Mac/Linux, and we will use Poetry to manage our dependencies. Later, we will bundle our app into a container using docker for deployment.

Here are the two main packaging issues I run into, specifically when using Poetry:

1) Lack of support for building extension modules (as mentioned by the article). There is a workaround using an undocumented feature [0], which I've tried, but ultimately decided it was not the right approach. I still use Poetry, but build the extension as a separate step in CI, rather than kludging it into Poetry.

2) Lack of support for offline installs [1], e.g. being able to download the dependencies, copy them to another machine, and perform the install from the downloaded dependencies (similar to using "pip --no-index --find-links=."). Again, you can work around this (by using "poetry export --with-credentials" and "pip download" for fetching the dependencies, then firing up pypiserver [2] to run a local PyPI server on the offline machine), but ideally this would all be a first class feature of Poetry, similar to how it is in pip.

I don't have the capacity to create Pull Requests for addressing these issues with Poetry, and I'm very grateful for the maintainers and those who do contribute. Instead, on the linked issues I share my notes on the matter, in the hope that it may at least help others and potentially get us closer to a solution.

Regardless, I'm sticking with Poetry for now. Though to be fair, the only other Python packaging tools I've used extensively are Pipenv and pip/setuptools. It's time consuming to thoroughly try out these other packaging tools, and is generally lower priority than developing features/fixing bugs, so it's helpful to read about the author's experience with these other tools, such as PDM and Hatch.

We believe that poetry is currently the best tool for this purpose, besides of being the most popular one at the moment. This is why we will use poetry to manage the dependencies of our project throughout this series of posts. Poetry allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Poetry also allows you to package your project into a distributable format and publish it to a repository, such as PyPI. We strongly recommend you to learn more about this tool by reading the official documentation.

I started using poetry. The problem is poetry will not install if there is dependency conflict and there is no way to ignore: github
