Pipenv Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Is Rust really only good for larger-scale projects?

  Pipenv helps a lot there. It provides a fairly Cargo-like experience.

• Can't install anything with pipenv

• How do i go about building a vidoe conferencing app?

  (PyQt5 and PySide2 expose basically the same API but you need to import different module names and I was too lazy to switch to the AnyQt wrapper when I discovered it... I think because AnyQt isn't in the Ubuntu package repository and I didn't want to add a dependency on something like pipenv.)

• pipenv vs python -m venv ? And help with a problem!

  pipenv shell doesn't have this functionality yet on PowerShell. See pypa/pipenv#3505

• Why is python depency management such a mess?

  pipenv is solid, but last time I checked, it didn't work very well with multiple isolated python versions. You had to go out of your way to create a virtualenv with the python you wanted and then source from there, but it felt redundant since pipenv already uses virtualenv(https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/1050).

• Coming from R, is there a trick to get Python packages to install cleanly every time?

  I would recommend that you look into Pipenv. It's essentially a higher-level layer over pip that simplifies installing your dependencies to virtual environments. The packaging ecosystem in Python is a hot mess, unfortunately.

• Installing and using Black for code formatting, and setting up pre-commit hooks
  1 project | reddit.com/r/Python | 1 Jun 2021

  Just a heads up. The Pipenv installation instructions will not work. By default Pipenv does not allow pre-releases and black does not have a regular release yet. You can make it work by adding the --pre flag but that will allow pre-releases for all dependencies which might not be what you want. Black is known for being a bit of a pain to use with Pipenv, there is an issue open to allow pre-releases per dependency but it's not here yet. The solution I saw (and use) is to specify the black version to use because Pipenv will install that even if it's a pre-release. That way you can use black but don't have to allow pre-releases. I don't believe there is a way to specify the version to install using the command line so you have to edit the Pipfile like this for example:

  I don't know anything about pipenv drama, so by morbid curiosity I looked for it and this is the first thing I saw:

  https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/2228

  This is one of the most ridiculous issues I've read. If the rest of the "drama" is like that, then eh.

• Setting up first python project environment?

  I personally use Pipenv, it's super simple and it's what virtual environments should've been.

• What virtual environment system do you use for your Django projects and why? (venv, pipenv, pyenv, etc )
  4 projects | reddit.com/r/django | 20 Feb 2021

  Although the pipenv docs currently say this about using --system, “This is useful for Docker containers...”, this has been changed in the repo to read “This is useful for managing the system Python...”.
