Maybe it is better, but I will never ever install anything via

    curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -
call me security paranoid, but

    curl | interpreter
is not an installation method.



Particularly, it isn't an installation method someone writing a package manager should consider. Bootstrapping tends to be clumsy, but this is too much.


The exact same thing happens behind the scenes when you pip install something. (Download source from a trusted website, run with interpreter)


`pipx install poetry` works just as well
