Pipenv is a package manager that brings all the best of the packaging world together to the Python world. It's got everything you could need: bundler, composer, npm, cargo, yarn and more all in one convenient package so you can easily set up a working environment.
Pipenv creates and manages a virtualenv automatically, and can add or remove packages from your Pipfile as you install/uninstall packages. It also produces the Pipfile.lock, which is essential for deterministic builds.
Pipenv provides convenient solutions to a number of problems. It allows you to use pip and virtualenv together; use the upcoming Pipfile and Pipfile.lock instead of a problematic requirements.txt; automatically exposes security vulnerabilities; and streamlines your development workflow by loading .env file.
Features
- Allows for truly deterministic builds, while specifying only what you want
- Generates and checks file hashes for locked dependencies
- Installs required Pythons automatically (if pyenv is available)
- Finds your project home automatically
- If Pipfile doesn't exist, will generate one automatically
- Automatically creates a virtualenv in a standard location
- Automatically adds/removes packages to a Pipfile when they are un/installed
- If .env files exist, will automatically load them
