[snippsat]

can it make a flat list of dependencies?

It will give new line display of using poetry show or can also use pip list when activate environment with poetry shell.
Poetry also gives description of what the libraries dos

To get Python list have to parse it,but i don't see why need that?
Can spend a couple of minute to make to a working Python list.
Redirect to a file pip list > "pip_lst.txt"
Parse it:

pip_lst = []
with open('pip_lst.txt') as f:
    next(f);next(f)
    for line in f:
        pip_lst.append(line.split())

print(pip_lst)

Output:
[['atomicwrites', '1.4.0'], ['attrs', '21.4.0'], ['colorama', '0.4.5'], ['more-itertools', '8.13.0'], ['numpy', '1.23.0'], ['packaging', '21.3'], ['pandas', '1.4.3'], ['pip', '22.0.3'], ['pluggy', '0.13.1'], ['py', '1.11.0'], ['pyparsing', '3.0.9'], ['pytest', '5.4.3'], ['python-dateutil', '2.8.2'], ['pytz', '2022.1'], ['setuptools', '60.6.0'], ['six', '1.16.0'], ['wcwidth', '0.2.5'], ['wheel', '0.37.1']]
