Add package to build from a dependency?

[rlaphoenix]

I have a namespace named 'foo'. Under it there's two sub-packages. 'core' and 'commands'. When I run poetry build it works great and I end up with both sub-packages. However, I have a second project named 'foo-repository' added as a dependency. It's structure has the same named 'foo' namespace folder with two packages, 'core' (again) and 'services'.

When I run poetry build I was expecting to have all three folders in the whl. Is this possible?

I have poetry recognizing the namespace in foo-repository with:

packages = [
    { include = "foo" }
]

Under poetry I can recognize the paths are different for these two namespaces. The 'core' and 'commands' when imported are in the main project git repository location. The 'services' and 2nd 'core' from 'foo-repository' are importing from the main project's venv.

What you are looking for is not how Python packaging works normally -- you need to build both packages and install them both (the namespaces will not conflict if you use implicit namespace paths -- if poetry install works, both packages will be installable on their own).

If you are interested in vendoring the third module in so that there is only one package, that feature is tracked at #4583.

Yes this is correct. They are both installable separately. But yeah vendoring them is what I was hoping to do. Thanks for the link.
