Is poetry for installing python packages like setuptools is?

[buhtz]

I assume I misunderstood the intention of poetry. I often found it in the context of testing environments for example as an alternative to tox.

But looking deeper it feels like that poetry can also be used as a total replacement for setuptools.

When having a python project/package containing only pyproject.toml can poetry handle it and I can do python3 -m pip install -e . ?

If this is the case I will add some further questions because maybe poetry can solve problems for me that setuptools does not.
