Question

Trying to create a Kedro starter integrated with Poetry I m following this issue https github com kedro org kedro issues 1722 to get it done Looking at the docs in this link https kedro readthedocs io en stable extend kedro plugins html extend starter aliases I should edit `setup py` to get it done Now 1 I m creating a starter so there isn t any `setup py` yet as I have not executed Kedro new So how exactly am I supposed to edit it if it is not yet created Second 2 I don t want to use `setup py` as Poetry does not need it So how should I go about supporting new kedro starters

Overall it s not very clear to me from the docs even in the vanilla case where should I put all the documented commands because a starter is something that I do independently from a kedro project so it makes no sense to me to edit the not yet existent `setup py` file

We re going to remove setup py in the next major release in favour of pyproject toml

Good to hear

bluesummers · Answer

for the meantime assuming I m okay with `setup py`

bluesummers · Answer

the docs says for creating an alias I need to edit it but how am I supposed to edit it I am only creating the starter I don t have any files yet

bluesummers · Answer

I m pre the `kedro new` command

datajoely · Answer

So setup py is used as the entry point for plugins

datajoely · Answer

So I think you may need it to make Viz work

datajoely · Answer

And others

bluesummers · Answer

Makes sense that `setup py` will be the entrypoint of plugins However starters are a different kind of plugin it s a plugin you wish to reference to before the project is created so I m not sure how can I edit `setup py` when I haven t created the project yet

datajoely · Answer

The best way to do it is to do a kedro new and then edit

datajoely · Answer

Rather than start from scratch

bluesummers · Answer

My ultimate goal is to use `kedro new starter my starter` so should I `kedro new` edit the `setup py` and only then re run `kedro new` with the starter argument

datajoely · Answer

That or take an existing starter from the core ones and mutate that

bluesummers · Answer

I already have a starter implemented I just wonder I to use it maybe that wasn t clear
