Streamline development workflow by loading. Give you insight into your dependency graph (e.g. Strongly encourage the use of the latest versions of dependencies to minimize security risks arising from outdated components. Automatically expose security vulnerabilities. Managing a requirements.txt file can be problematic, so Pipenv uses Pipfile and Pipfile.lock to separate abstract dependency declarations from the last tested combination. You no longer need to use pip and virtualenv separately.
The problems that Pipenv seeks to solve are multi-faceted: For the distinction between libraries and applications and the usage of setup.py vs Pipfile to define dependencies, see ☤ Pipfile vs setup.py. Pipenv is primarily meant to provide users and developers of applications with an easy method to setup a working environment.
It also generates the ever-important Pipfile.lock, which is used to produce deterministic builds. It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, as well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile as you install/uninstall packages. Windows is a first-class citizen, in our world. Pipenv is a tool that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds (bundler, composer, npm, cargo, yarn, etc.) to the Python world. Pipenv - the officially recommended Python packaging tool from, free (as in freedom).
