Install large dependency from single local copy

[arainboldt]

Hi!

I'm often creating repos that depend on large libraries like Torch. Re-installing fresh copies of these in every env is not only time-consuming but memory-consuming. Is it possible to have poetry reference a local copy and symlink it?

Thanks!

Poetry already does that. We cache downloaded wheels.

ok, that's great to know. that solves the downloading time issue, does that mean that there is only one memory footprint for a given dependency for all venvs?
