This article is super helpful for anyone looking to begin their journey with poetry. However, as I was reading through it, a couple of questions arose:

Could you provide practical scenarios in which Dependency Groups (referenced in Step 6) might be necessary?
Is it possible to eliminate the need for virtual environments entirely when utilizing poetry?

Thanks for the feedback

Yes, that way we can segregate (or group) dependencies for specific tasks e.g. grouping tests dependencies, grouping dependencies for generating docs etc
Yes, if a virtual environment is already activated inside that project. Poetry will acknowledge that and will use that environment (instead of creating a new one)
