Poetry: how install nltk dependencies

Question

I use poetry as a dependency manager and I need to install nltk dependencies

nltk.download('omw-1.4')

It is possible to add it into pyproject.toml file?

Answer 1

For now, it's not possible to run custom commands defined in pyproject.toml, it's been discussed for a while now though.

You can however:

1. Create a python script all call it with poetry run
2. Use a wrapper like taskipy or poethepoet to call any script/command from your poetry virtualenv
