Pipenv — the officially recommended Python packaging tool from Python.org, free (as in freedom).
Pipenv harnesses Pipfile, Pip, and Virtualenv together in unison to create a single, high-quality tool that is optimized for workflow efficiency and best practices. Windows is a first–class citizen, in our world.
Pipenv automatically creates and manages the virtualenvs of your projects, as well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile as you install/uninstall packages. The lock command generates a lockfile (Pipfile.lock).
The problems that Pipenv seeks to solve are multi-faceted:
When using Pipenv, you no longer need to use pip and virtualenv separately. They work together.
Managing a requirements.txt file can be problematic, so Pipenv uses the upcoming Pipfile and Pipfile.lock instead, which is superior for basic use cases.
Hashes are used everywhere, always. Security.
Installation
$ pip install pipenv

☤ User Testimonials
- Jannis Leidel, former pip maintainer—
Pipenv is the porcelain I always wanted to build for pip. It fits my brain and mostly replaces virtualenvwrapper and manual pip calls for me. Use it.
- Jhon Crypt—
Pipenv is the best thing since pip, thank you!
- Isaac Sanders—
Pipenv is literally the best thing about my day today. Thanks, Kenneth!
☤ Features
Enables truly deterministic builds, while easily specifying what you want.
Generates and checks file hashes for locked dependencies (via --hashes).
Automatically finds your project home, recursively, by looking for a Pipfile.
Automatically generates a Pipfile, if one doesn’t exist.
Automatically generates a Pipfile.lock, if one doesn’t exist.
Automatically creates a virtualenv in a standard location.
Automatically adds packages to a Pipfile when they are installed.
Automatically removes packages from a Pipfile when they are un-installed.
Also automatically updates pip.
The main commands are install, uninstall, and lock, which generates a Pipfile.lock. These are intended to replace $ pip install usage, as well as manual virtualenv management (to activate a virtualenv, run $ pipenv shell).
Basic Concepts
A virtualenv will automatically be created, when one doesn’t exist.
When no parameters are passed to install, all packages [packages] specified will be installed.
To initialize a Python 3 virtual environment, run $ pipenv --three.
To initialize a Python 2 virtual environment, run $ pipenv --two.
Otherwise, whatever virtualenv defaults to will be the default.
Other Commands
shell will spawn a shell with the virtualenv activated.
run will run a given command from the virtualenv, with any arguments forwarded (e.g. $ pipenv run python).
check asserts that PEP 508 requirements are being met by the current environment.
graph will print a pretty graph of all your installed dependencies.
Shell Completion
Set _PIPENV_COMPLETE and then source the output of the program. For example, with fish, put this in your ~/.config/fish/completions/pipenv.fish:
eval (env _PIPENV_COMPLETE=source-fish pipenv)
Magic shell completions are now enabled! There is also a fish plugin, which will automatically activate your subshells for you!
Fish is the best shell. You should use it.
☤ Usage
$ pipenv
Usage: pipenv [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--update Update Pipenv & pip to latest.
--where Output project home information.
--venv Output virtualenv information.
--rm Remove the virtualenv.
--bare Minimal output.
--three / --two Use Python 3/2 when creating virtualenv.
--python TEXT Specify which version of Python virtualenv
should use.
-h, --help Show this message then exit.
-j, --jumbotron An easter egg, effectively.
--version Show the version and exit.
Usage Examples:
Create a new project using Python 3:
$ pipenv --three
Install all dependencies for a project (including dev):
$ pipenv install --dev
Create a lockfile:
$ pipenv lock
Commands:
check Checks PEP 508 markers provided in Pipfile.
graph Displays currently–installed dependency graph...
install Installs provided packages and adds them to...
lock Generates Pipfile.lock.
run Spawns a command installed into the...
shell Spawns a shell within the virtualenv.
uninstall Un-installs a provided package and removes it...
update Updates Pipenv & pip to latest, uninstalls...
Locate the virtualenv:
$ pipenv --where Pipfile found at /Users/kennethreitz/repos/kr/pip2/test/Pipfile. Considering this to be the project home.
Install packages:
$ pipenv install Creating a virtualenv for this project... ... No package provided, installing all dependencies. Virtualenv location: /Users/kennethreitz/.local/share/virtualenvs/test-EJkjoYts Installing dependencies from Pipfile.lock... ... To activate this project's virtualenv, run the following: $ pipenv shell
Install a dev dependency:
$ pipenv install pytest --dev Installing pytest... ... Adding pytest to Pipfile's [dev-packages]...
Show a dependency graph:
$ pipenv graph pip==9.0.1 regex==2017.7.28 requests==2.18.4 - certifi [required: >=2017.4.17, installed: 2017.7.27.1] - chardet [required: >=3.0.2,<3.1.0, installed: 3.0.4] - idna [required: >=2.5,<2.7, installed: 2.6] - urllib3 [required: <1.23,>=1.21.1, installed: 1.22] setuptools==36.4.0 wheel==0.29.0
Generate a lockfile:
$ pipenv lock Assuring all dependencies from Pipfile are installed... Locking [dev-packages] dependencies... Locking [packages] dependencies... Note: your project now has only default [packages] installed. To install [dev-packages], run: $ pipenv install --dev
Install all dev dependencies:
$ pipenv install --dev Pipfile found at /Users/kennethreitz/repos/kr/pip2/test/Pipfile. Considering this to be the project home. Pipfile.lock out of date, updating... Assuring all dependencies from Pipfile are installed... Locking [dev-packages] dependencies... Locking [packages] dependencies...
Uninstall everything:
$ pipenv uninstall --all No package provided, un-installing all dependencies. Found 25 installed package(s), purging... ... Environment now purged and fresh!
Use the shell:
$ pipenv shell Spawning virtualenv shell (/bin/zsh). (test)$
