About:
Pipenv is a Python dependency management tool that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds to the Python world. It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, while allowing you to install and manage packages from PyPI.
Key Features:
  • Automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for projects
  • Generates deterministic builds via Pipfile.lock
  • Integrates pip and virtualenv into a single unified tool
  • Loads .env files for environment variables
Use Cases:
  • Managing Python project dependencies in a reproducible way
  • Isolating project environments to avoid package conflicts
  • Simplifying the workflow of installing, updating, and removing packages
Alternatives:
  • poetry – Modern alternative with PEP 517/518 support and built-in packaging
  • pip-tools – Lightweight compilation tool focused on requirements files
  • virtualenv – Lower-level tool that only creates isolated environments
