Improve way of managing python dependencies

[isabelcosta]

Description

As a developer,
I need a more flexible and easy to manage way of managing python dependencies,
so that I can update in a more reliable way the packages that are being flagged as security risks and ease development to coder contributors.

A few options are:

• https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools
• https://python-poetry.org/
• feel free to suggest more...

Since the beginning of the project I have been installing and just do pip freeze > requirements.txt this can make me install unrequired packages because of something I might install into the environment which is not necessary. It feels clumsy, I know we can have a better way to do this.

Acceptance Criteria

Update [Required]

• Adopt a way of managing python dependencies
• Discuss with the community the tooling selected
• Document the selected way on README

Definition of Done

• All of the required items are completed.
• Approval by 1 mentor.

Estimation

5 hours

I very much agree with this @isabelcosta. I've been thinking about creating a PR about integrating Poetry since like...april?, but looks like my laziness won in the end.
Nevertheless, I'd like to work on this issue.

I see you are really eager to work on this 😅
I can assign this to you. The solution should be the simplest and easy for newcomers to start working on.
