Missing modules when running as root

[chambln]

I can install and run xkalamine just fine as my regular user.

$ git clone https://github.com/qwerty-fr/kalamine
$ cd kalamine
$ poetry install
$ poetry run xkalamine
Usage: xkalamine [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
...

But then as root, the installed modules are not available.

# poetry run xkalamine
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from .layout import KeyboardLayout                                               
  File "/home/greg/src/kalamine/kalamine/layout.py", line 10, in <module>                  
    import yaml                                                                      
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'

The only way I can get layouts installed properly is by installing the dependencies as root using poetry

# poetry install
# poetry run xkalamine
Usage: xkalamine [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
...

which is not ideal. Root permissions are only really needed in order to modify the system's keyboard layout files, right? Maybe it's better to produce a diff which the user can then apply by running patch(1) as root, or produce a complete symbols file which can be installed using cp(1) or whatever as root.

@chambln Interestingly, it works just fine here:

Anyway, I don't think that this issue is related to https://github.com/qwerty-fr/kalamine, but it's more a question about how to use Poetry. I'll keep it open so that we can update the README.md file once we have a solution.
