>>> f = open('Pipfile')
>>> print(f.read(), end='')
[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true

[dev-packages]
Sphinx = "~=4.1"

[requires]
python_version = "*"
>>> binary, program = licheck.get_binary_and_program('python')
>>> command = licheck.build_command(binary, program, 'Pipfile')
>>> print(licheck.get_data(command, program))
