Sacred Marriage of Pipfile, Pip, & Virtualenv.

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pipenv.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/pipenv.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/wheel/pipenv.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/pipenv.svg https://travis-ci.org/kennethreitz/pipenv.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/badge/Say%20Thanks-!-1EAEDB.svg

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.

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.

Installation

$ pip install pipenv

☤ 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!

☤ 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.

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:
  --where          Output project home information.
  --venv           Output virtualenv information.
  --rm             Remove the virtualenv.
  --bare           Minimal output.
