---------------
**Pipenv** — the officially recommended Python packaging tool from `Python.org <https://packaging.python.org/new-tutorials/installing-and-using-packages/>`_, free (as in freedom).
Pipenv is a project that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds to the Python world. It harnesses `Pipfile <https://github.com/pypa/pipfile>`_, `pip <https://github.com/pypa/pip>`_, and `virtualenv <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv>`_ into one single toolchain. It features very pretty terminal colors.
It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for 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 <https://www.kennethreitz.org/essays/a-better-pip-workflow>`_, so Pipenv uses the upcoming ``Pipfile`` and ``Pipfile.lock`` instead, which is superior for basic use cases.

User Testimonials
-----------------
**Jannis Leidel**, former pip maintainer—
*Pipenv is the porcelain I always wanted built 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!*
☤ Pipenv Features
-----------------
- Enables truly *deterministic builds*, while easily specifying *what you want*.
- Automatically 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.
☤ Pipenv Usage
--------------
::
$ pipenv
Usage: pipenv [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--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.
