Incompatibility between arbitrary version for Python, poetry, and specified Python version in pyproject.toml

[HarmonicReflux]

There is an issue with the current setup instructions for the project. The first step in the how-to guide is to ensure that Poetry is installed, see also "Make sure you have poetry installed."

However, this will not work unless Poetry is running on Python 3.11, which is the version specified in the pyproject.toml file.

Steps to reproduce:

• Attempt to install Poetry on a system with a Python version other than 3.11.
• Run poetry install in the project directory.
• Observe the error indicating that the current Python version is not allowed by the project.

Expected behaviour:

• Poetry should be able to install and run using the specified Python version in the pyproject.toml.

Actual behaviour:

• An error is thrown because the current Python version (e.g., 3.9) is not allowed by the project (^3.11).

Proposed solution:

• Update the setup instructions to ensure the user installs Python 3.11 before installing Poetry.
  This will involve:
• Clearly stating the requirement for Python 3.11 at the beginning of the guide. Maybe provide or refer to instructions to install Python 3.11 before installing Poetry.

Also, on my machine, it was crucial to install the virtual environment like invoking
poetry install --no-root instead of poetry install . Else, I am thrown this warning, which in a future version becomes an error:

Warning: The current project could not be installed: No file/folder found for package rseblog
If you do not want to install the current project use --no-root.
If you want to use Poetry only for dependency management but not for packaging, you can disable package mode by setting package-mode = false in your pyproject.toml file.
In a future version of Poetry this warning will become an error!

The following commands solved the problem on my machine. These are equivalently the sequence of commands one might include in the project documentation.

pyenv install 3.11  # assumes pyenv is installed (I could not survive without anymore)
pyenv local 3.11
cd ~/Downloads/vcs/RSEBlog  # navigate to your project directory; path valid for my machine
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true  # optional to place venv in project directory
poetry install --no-root  # avoids warning "Warning: The current project could not be installed: No file/folder found for package rseblog"

Lower the required python version to 3.9 to avoid any issues and run poetry lock to update the lock file and spot any incompatibiolity.
