Poetry from install-poetry.py does not install packages to system Python even with POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_CREATE=0 #3870
Description
- I am on the latest Poetry version.
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
Poetry installed from the latest install-poetry.py does not install packages to system Python even with POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_CREATE=0.
Steps to reproduce:
Spin up a fresh container for demoing:
$ docker run -it python:3.9.2-buster bash
In the container:
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/45a9b8f20384591d0a33ae876bcf23656f928ec0/install-poetry.py | python -
$ export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH"
$ export POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_CREATE=0
$ poetry --version
Poetry version 1.1.5
$ poetry init # go with the bare defaults
Install a package (note the "Skipping virtualenv creation" message):
$ poetry add django
Skipping virtualenv creation, as specified in config file.

• Installing asgiref (3.3.1)
• Installing pytz (2021.1)
• Installing sqlparse (0.4.1)
• Installing django (3.1.7)
Then try to run
$ python -c 'import django'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'
We can see that django got installed to here:
$ find / -type d -name django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/templates/django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/jinja2/django
When pip would install it here:
$ pip install django
$ python -c 'import django' # no errors
$ find / -type d -name django
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/templates/django
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/jinja2/django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/templates/django
/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/forms/jinja2/django
The same thing also happens with non-root users. This issue does NOT happen with Poetry installed from the latest get-poetry.py NOR with poetry==1.1.5 installed from pip.
