I set up a simple Flask app using App Platform and love how easy it was! As my project evolves, I want to manage the requirements in a more controlled fashion and prefer to use Poetry with a pyproject.toml file to do so. Is there any way to use App Platform with that instead of a requirements.txt file? If not, would this be anywhere on the roadmap for Python App Platform support?

Hey there!
We don’t currently support Poetry in app platform for the Python build-pack, but it could be added as our build-packs expand. Currently the Python build supports: requirements.txt, Pipfile and setup.py for app detection. However you may be able to use Poetry now by using a Dockerfile build rather then the Python build.
Is there any plan to change this? the pyproject.toml file was introduced in 2016 in PEP 518 and it just seems silly that this isn’t an option yet.
A little late, but for future users - You can add a custom build step in your component’s settings:
poetry config virtualenvs.create false
poetry install
Make sure to keep poetry in your requirements.txt, and besides that use pyproject.toml/poetry.lock as usual.
