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

Good to hear
for the meantime, assuming I'm okay with 
setup.py
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
I'm pre the 
kedro new
command
d
So setup.py is used as the entry point for plugins
So I think you may need it to make Viz work
And others
b
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
d
The best way to do it is to do a kedro new and then edit
Rather than start from scratch
b
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?
d
That or take an existing starter from the core ones and mutate that
b
🤔
I already have a starter implemented, I just wonder I to use it - maybe that wasn't clear
d
Oh
kedro new --starter path/to/starter
Does that not work?
b
Tryint to get it to work
I'll try some more hacking and report if I fail
d
Post the error message if you get stuck!
b
cracked it 💪 thx
d
Smashed it! Well done
