Tl;DR: Use allow-prereleases = true to tell Poetry to consider alpha/beta/dev builds.
By default, Python package installation tools (e.g. pip, Poetry) will prefer “stable” releases over alpha, beta, dev.
For Poetry specifically, if you have a release 0.4.2a0 and are trying to install it just using ==0.4.2, Poetry will not be able to find it.
Use allow-prereleases = true to explicitly tell Poetry you want to use pre-releases.
For example:
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
my-package = {version = "^0.4.2a0", allow-prereleases = true }
