mise is pretty nice, though I don't use it for python, Python is handled by uv with poethepoet as the task runner.

Can you help me understand what the value or use case of poethepoet is?

    It allows you to define common tasks such as linting, running tests, building docs, etc under an alias.

    So you can run

    uv run poe docs

    Instead of

    uv run sphinx-build -W -b dirhtml docs/source docs/build

    Many languages have a task runners baked into their package manager, but many others don’t. In Ruby it’s roughly the equivalent of Rake.

      I think the question being asked is, if you’re already using mise (which has a built-in task runner) what is the advantage of going with the other one?
