Research direction

Start with the linked Microsoft winget-cli repository and its package submission guidance, then review how existing Python packages are represented. The work is done when Poetry can be installed through winget on Windows without pasting the PowerShell installer or manually modifying PATH.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please add poetry to the winget package manager.

Currently, installing poetry requires pasting an install script into a powershell Window, and possibly manually modifying the PATH. This is inconvenient at best, and difficult to guide another person to do. winget is Microsoft's open source package manager and already has thousands of packages, including all versions of Python.
