How to include an executable from the dependency to my own app?

Issue

I’m using Poetry to manage my application dependency and virtual environment.

Although the PyPI package publication can be handled seamlessly with Poetry, I’m unable to find docs on how to solve my case:

• My app depends on a package which includes an executable.
• In the dev environment, this executable can only be installed to cache folder via poetry install.
• The executable has its own sub-dependencies in the cache folder, but it’s unclear to me what exactly those sub-dependencies are.

The app’s runtime needs to use this executable, but I’m not sure how to extract this executable and all its own dependency and ship with my app.

Is there a poetry command or pattern for this scenario?

I would say, the end goal of poetry (at least right now, as far as I can tell) is to let you distribute your project (library, application, etc.) on PyPI. If you want to go further than that you will need additional tools on top of poetry or other tools in replacement of poetry.
