Cannot add "Pillow" package dependency through interactive init

Issue

Hi, I tried to interactively create a new project with some existing python files using poetry init. However I found some sad behaviour when trying to interactively specify packages I wanted.

I couldn’t add the Pillow package. Adding matplotlib worked fine. I think you can see the issue from the terminal output…

So confusingly, the normal Pillow package was nowhere to be found, and apparently writing the complete package name “Pillow” as instructed is invalid?

I would also like to add that there is no instructions on how to (manually?) finish adding package dependencies. I pressed control+C at the end hoping to continue to the next step, but it killed the whole process.

I’m also having this issue, and was unsuccessful finding a similar ticket.

Edit: FWIW poetry add Pillow worked just fine 👍

Duplicate of https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/3434, which has been closed since the issue appears to have been fixed in 1.2.0b1.

For the other issue mentioned ('NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'), I’ve just tested on latest version from master branch, and it does seem to have been fixed, meaning you can now exit dependency adding by typing an empty choice for the selection, then an empty choice for the package name to go the next question:
