Transition from Pip to Poetry for Dependency Management

[WildfootW]

The objective of this issue is to evaluate and potentially transition our project's dependency management from Pip to Poetry. This change aims to leverage Poetry's advanced features such as better dependency resolution, easier publishing of packages, and its ability to handle both dependencies and packaging. A comparative analysis of Pip and Poetry will be conducted, focusing on key aspects like ease of use, performance, compatibility, and community support. The outcome of this analysis will guide the decision on whether to proceed with the transition.
